I still don’t believe it. Some OTBKB readers wrote in to say that Night and Day is closed. Reader Bob says, "Biscuit is moving in. Mmmmmmm BBQ!
I called over there yesterday and I heard Robin Hirsh’s theatrical voice on the message. There was nothing about the restaurant being closed. But at the end he did say cryptically: "We’ve been having some problems with Con Edison."
Is Night and Day doing a BBQ thing? I can imagine that two pros like Robin and his partner would close up this soon. They only opened a year ago.
The club was really shaping up to be quite the cultural center with music, literature, theater, art, comedy and MORE.
And I liked the food at N&D. ANYONE KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON?
The place should close. It’s a bland, uncomfortable and a very mediocre restaurant. The idea was good, but they never quite developed it. Unfortunately the old Biscuit on Flatbush had some major flaws too (primarily the often terrible biscuits,) so I hope they do better this time, if indeed they plan to reopen on 5th. What we need is a really good 24 hour, slightly upscale diner. I read somewhere that the owner of Catty Shack is building exactly such a place on the corner of 4th Ave and Carroll (I think she is calling it Coffe Shack,) and I did notice that there’s something going on there in the past few weeks.
