Con Ed work temporarily shutters Cafe Himalaya and Prim Thai

Running a restaurant during the pandemic is obviously challenging enough... Cafe Himalaya has had its share of challenges in recent months, including having someone break into the 18-year-old Tibetan/Nepalese restaurant on First Street here between Avenue A and First Avenue and steal the cash drawer.

On Tuesday, owner Karma Dolma discovered that Con Ed will be doing emergency work on the building — forcing Cafe Himalaya and neighbor Prim Thai to close in the interim. 

Con Ed said that they will need at least a week, which in Con Ed time, means a lot longer. Probably. (And yes — this sucks for the residents too.)

We'll update when the two places will be able to reopen.

    Con Ed is the utility that time forgot. They seem to work in another dimension.

    Are they still closed? This was two months ago? I really hope they're ok, and can reopen. Any updates EV?

    They reopened briefly in early November... only to close again. I'd say they've been closed for the past 7 weeks now. I reached out to them to learn more, but they didn't respond...
