After some neighborhood opposition, the Moroccan eatery/lounge opened in May 2009... it was run by the Marrakech-born Hassan Hakmoun, considered the Jerry Garcia of the sintir in his native country....
Anyway, the place looked cute enough....Despite some so-so early reviews, I wanted to give it a try...
...and every time I walked by, I saw the photos of Hakmoun prominently displayed on the restaurant's front window...posed next to Mayor Bloomberg....
These were the only two photos up... no Katz's-like Wall of Fame or anything...
"Maybe he doesn't realize that having a photo of Mayor Bloomberg in the front window in this neighborhood isn't really a selling point," Mrs. Grieve helpfully said after I decided that I really didn't want to try it. Always wondered if anyone else felt the same...

The food at Sintir was horrible and overpriced. It's no surprise they're closed.
Karma got him...
