Beijing Express came and went pretty quickly at 92 Third Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street.
Some rent-due legalese has been up on the now-closed restaurant's front door... noting a balance due of nearly $60,000, including the base rent of $17,500 for each month dating to January and other assorted charges, such as water and sewer service...
The quick-serve restaurant lasted four months... taking over for Gala BBQ, which opened and closed within three months. Previously, Blue 9 Burger had a 14-year run here.

Is it just me or has the price of dining out doubled in the past year?
I don't know about doubled, NN, but we've developed our own economy in the East Village, where you spend more to get less. For restaurant and bar owners I imagine its quite enticing--you can sell at a premium price here, but live somewhere where the rents are not 4K and more for a one bedroom. But reality will often be a slap in the face...
Wow, at that rent I can't imagine that place would ever have made money.
As for rising cost of eating out in our area, absolutely yes - and as a result, I eat out far less often. I only have a fixed dollar amount to spend on eating out every month.
875 late fee?!
