This is getting scary - is there anyone who hasn't died today?

So much for the Rule of Three.

About six months ago. The food was kind of tired but the soufflés are still delicious, and it's always been one of the prettiest places in town.

Just got word from Community Board 1. He was a member of longstanding, very active and very much loved. The chair wants to memorialize him with a park or some other other community facility.

This is really sad. I never thought all that much of the restaurant, but the owners were just lovely guys.
I am SO sorry to hear this. A real loss for the community (of which he was like bedrock).
