Updated: Baoguette Cafe looks rather closed

Over on St. Mark's Place, Michael "Bao" Huynh's Baoguette Cafe near Second Avenue looks rather permanently closed...


However, there is a sign...


Which doesn't exactly explain why the inside looks as if the place was ransacked...


The DOH temporarily closed the Cafe back on the spring... Meanwhile, BaoBQ closed on First Avenue a few weeks ago.

Bao is opening a new restaurant on Greenwich Avenue and says that he is moving back to Vietnam at some point in the future... via Eater ... and Gael Greene.

Updated 9-4 12:15 — Eater gets confirmation that Huynh has closed this location.

    How does this nut keep opening and closing these spots? Are they fronts? So weird...

    It seemed to use that business dropped off severely after that Department of Health violation closing. We certainly stopped buying there altogether.

    Hmm. Maybe it could be replaced by another place, with a different Bao pun. The possibilities are endless, I'll start.

    Heh. A Bao Movement! (Sorry...)

    I like Rocky Bao-boa's .... But if it's a seafood place, then Shrimp on the Baobie.
