Meatball Factory closed for the moment


Over on 14th Street and Second Avenue, the 7-month-old Meatball Factory is closed... there's no sign, and there wasn't any sign of any workers on the scene. (Perhaps in the cellar?) There isn't a message on the restaurant's Facebook page or Twitter account (which haven't been updated the past month) ... and no one answered the phone when we called; no outgoing message ... so... we'll try again later.

    Everytime I walked by this place, it was pretty full. Inside job issues?

    They have a grade "pending" in the window, maybe it is related to that.

    Don't like their meatballs anyway. Why can't there be a meatball maker in the East Village who just makes plain good meatballs and doesn't gunk them up with pretentious rubbish? Apparently that's too much to ask...

    I just walked by and the door was open. They've painted some crazy colors and designs all over the walls and ceilings. The bar is also gone.
