The Local shares some terrible news today: the Rice location at 166 Dekalb Avenue will close this Sunday. This comes years after we found a Craigslist advertisement seemingly trying to sell the spot. The Local also reports the Dumbo location will remain open, and we gave them a call just to confirm. (It will stay open.) Bummer for Fort Greene residents.
The Day: Rice Closing [Local]
Is Rice Abandoning Ft. Greene Location? [Brownstoner] GMAP
Why the editorializing? It was highly mediocre food. Walk by it every day and stopped going in years ago.
Funny how that cute space keeps housing disappointing restaurants–Rice, and the British place before that. None of them ever seem to hire enough wait staff to do the work.
Sometimes a business closing is sadly just a divorce of partners, nothing whatever to do with the food, the landlord, the neighborhood or anything else: just business partners going their separate ways.
walter foods rules – screw rice!!
I hope that’s true about Walter Foods.
i’m sad to hear this! i really like rice.
we got take out from rice last night after reading this, and were told that walter foods is opening in its place. nice!
They did not serve french fries or pizza, and thus the moppet would not eat there. So we never went.
Sheesh – Ft Greene HATES Rice.
Rice’s entrées were more like appetizers. Fusion? – what fusion? It was more like a bad Asian/South American boob job.
The best thing I enjoyed there was the multiple glasses of Prosecco. Shame when any business goes but I’m not going to miss it.
I never went to the place. Always thought the food was awful-take out at other’s parties. For the “yuppie” hipster. Good riddance. Resident since 1994.
