More about Max Fish maybe moving to Brooklyn


At The New York Times today, Cara Buckley has more on the probable move of Max Fish to Brooklyn.

Owner Ulli Rimkus gave her this via text message: "We are trying to move to Williamsburg. Nothing certain, except that we have to move." She declined to answer more questions. And this: She "later shooed a reporter out of her bar."

And what do longtime neighbors at Katz's and Russ & Daughters think?

They "met the news with resignation bordering on nonchalance. The rapid gentrification of the neighborhood made the bar's departure feel inevitable, they said.

"Everything else is gone," said David Manheim, 38, a waiter at Katz's. "Why shouldn’t Max Fish be gone too?"
