One of the owners of the diner, which has been in existence for 71 years, tells Maurer that he's optimistic that they'll work out a deal to stay. We hope so. We need more places like Cup and Saucer in these manly-man, artisanal days of NYC dining.
Doesn't seem as if much else is going on in the building aside from the Cup and Saucer...
In any event, this isn't the first time that we thought that the Cup and Saucer might be in trouble.
For more on the Cup and Saucer (and other LES signage), check out Jeremiah's post from 2007 here.

this gives me a sick feeling
Noooooooooooooo! I LOVE that place!
I'm with Jeremiah Moss. Looks like the owner's thinking about a tear down.
Is that corner's technically LES or Chinatown? Zoning issues might be involved since developers would like to do to Chinatown what they're doing to Cooper Square. Not sure what the latest in that battle is.
This is one of the very few and perhaps one of the last truly old-New York establishments in our area. Just like I remembered luncheonettes as a kid in NYC. It's like stepping back in time....
This is really sad. I love stopping in at the Cup & Saucer. Perfect inside & out.
I actually like Cup and Saucer, but I've never seen so many visible roaches in one restaurant in my life.
