At Sea Salt, the lights are still on, but no one is dining

Sea Salt, the upscale fish eatery on Second Avenue near Sixth Street, opened in July 2007... and, despite a big buzzy introduction to the neighborhood, the place closed seven months later... and the storefront has sat empty since then...windows papered over...



Last night, though, I noticed that the paper had been removed from the front door. Inside, a rather eerie scene... All the lights were on...the tables were still set...seemingly ready for business two years after closing...

    For awhile the all the seafood on display was left out on the already turned-off cooler and had all started to go rotten. The rats had a feast for a king.
