More from the Great GoogaMooga washout

Northern Spy co-owner Christophe Hille told us yesterday that he estimates that his restaurant on East 12th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B lost in the ballpark of $10,000 for the washed-out Great GoogaMooga this past weekend.

Another East Village restaurant checks in with an estimate of losses...

East Village fall out from the cancelled Great GoogaMooga festival


This happened today out in Brooklyn.



Several East Village restaurants were part of the food lineup... a little fall out so far...





We checked in with Northern Spy co-owner Christophe Hille about GoogaMooga. He figures the restaurant on East 12th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B lost in the ballpark of $10,000 for the event. They prepped 3,200 sandwiches to sell at their stand. Given yesterday's crap weather and today's cancellation, they sold less than 800. (Based on last year's demand, GoogaMooga officials suggested prepping 4,000.)

If Park officials allow trucks onto the soggy fields today, then City Harvest may take some of the unused food. Hille also plans on providing some of the leftovers to Trinity Church's Services and Food for the Homeless (SAFH) at East 9th Street and Avenue B. (He is a SAFH board member.)

"All vendors are in the same boat, so I'm not feeling any worse about [this] than everyone is," he said via Twitter.

After Sandy, Hille and his staff cooked up all their remaining food and gave it away to neighbors on East 12th Street.

Meanwhile, Luke's Lobster on East 7th Street is offering this deal...
