You didn't think gay Chelsea hub Food Bar would go quietly did you?: "'Gay Chelsea's ground zero' Food Bar is closed. Why? Signs plastered in the windows today say 'It is all about the R-E-N-T.' The closure has inspired funereal candlelit memorial and a 'gay Italian entrepreneur'...flying in with a suitcase full of Euros to save the joint." [Jeremiah's Vanishing]

Chelsea: Popular 8th Ave. spot Food Bar shuttered yesterday, apparently because of the typical lease woes. From the tipline: "Just a FYI, a Friend who works at the Food Bar on 8th told me he went to work today and the restaurant was closed. He knew about some lease problems but the owner was always reassuring."
