Danny's on Court Already Done For
We wondered if the space at 117 Court was cursed but even this is hard to believe: As BHB reported last night, Danny’s on Court, the cafe that replaced the short lived F.

We wondered if the space at 117 Court was cursed but even this is hard to believe: As BHB reported last night, Danny’s on Court, the cafe that replaced the short lived F. Martinella, appears to be closed after just two weeks! A tipster pointed they were closed over the holiday weekend, and sure enough, there is a sign up promoting this now debatable ‘prime retail space.’ Anyone know what’s up?

I bet the rent is outrageous.
11217 is onto something. There is no decent sized quality sit-down Vitnamese or Chinese in this area. Please do not mix the two though!!!
I second 11217’s pho nomination.
By the way, does anyone know what the rent on that space is? Must be huge.
You’re so right. Noodles and dumplings would make a fortune. Kid friendly, easy snack before or after a movie, high turnover. Something like Ollies on the upper west side comes to mind. Or better yet, Joe’s Shanghai. I’m dreaming of those soup dumplings now.
Ditto to Johnny’s question. Sounds like someone pulled out for reasons other than failure. Two weeks is far too short to cry ‘it’s not working!’
How does something fail within two weeks? No operating cash whatsoever or someone just said #$%#$ it?
Sit down Vietnamese.
Pho.
All he’d have to do is sit back and count the money.
This would be a good location for a baby Gap.
For many years, Danny had a full restaurant (despite mediocre food). Location is perfect with the movie across the street. But he needs to have a high-volume limited menu — dumplings and noodles!!! P)lease — if anyone atually knows him!!!
