I just heard that Naidres, the cafe/eatery that served delicious sandwiches, soups, treats and coffees in Carroll Gardens, is closing. The one in Park Slope, however, will remain open.

The current owner, Janice Pullcino took over both cafes from the original owner 4 years ago, Recently she had to make what she calls “a very difficult and bittersweet decision ” to shut down the Carroll Gardens location, which officially closed on Wednesday, January 12th. Pullcino found that running two restaurants has bee one of the most “exhausting, endeavors in my life, yet as hard as it was, I have loved every minute of serving the Carroll Gardens community.”

“I  am so grateful for all of the community support over the past few years, especially through some difficult economic times!” she writes in an email. “We hope to see our Carroll Gardens friends when you’re in the Park Slope area.”
