Whole Earth Bakery and Kitchen: Still closed



Whole Earth Bakery and Kitchen, which has operated at 130 St. Mark's Place since 1991, closed on Aug. 14 for renovations. At the time, the signs indicated the store would reopen on Aug. 18. As of last night, the gate was still closed -- no signs of life. (The photo above was taken prior to Aug. 18.) Given owner Peter Silvestri's ongoing problems with the landlord... we have a really bad feeling...

    Every time I walk by Whole Earth Bakery I look for signs of life...I am hoping all is well and they will reopen soon.

    I remain hopeful, Melanie. But being closed for a month when making rent has already been an issue... unless the work is being done by the landlord, and he's not charging them. (Fantasy Land, I know...)

    Nope we can rejoice! I talked to Peter today..They should be open around the 23rd of this month..some bullcrap with his "company" name or something..he had no real health code violation problems..but I went in there today and he was in there and they really did a lot of work on the place! All freshly painted, polished and gleaming..he was stocking the shelves and they had new menu signs hung up-bigger and brighter ones..It wasn't all fro-yo'd upped and gross though..still looks like good old whole earth-just spiffed up! I told Peter we were all worried and he was flattered and eager to reopen for business next week!
