I lived down the street from the original location for 7 years and because it was on my way to the Q, I passed it at least twice a day, frequented it countless times, and used to chat with the owners. I remember when it opened up in the neighborhood and being so proud of their growth, so this is sad to see. I watched them expand, even after I left New York (I now live down the street from the similar Salt & Straw in Seattle, albeit S&S seems to have managed their growth better), and was really rooting for them. What a shame.
