ICYMI: Fresco is closed for now on 2nd Avenue


Fresco closed after service on Sunday here at 138 Second Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street...

As we reported on Friday, Siblings Ilias, Vanessa and Anna Iliopoulos decided to temporarily shut down their 8-year-old gelateria-cafe and return to their native Greece. 

They hope to reopen in January... 

 
"It's not a landlord issue. It's purely about the decrease in revenue due to COVID-19," Ilia told EVG correspondent Steven about the temporary closing.

    25% indoor dining does not pay the bills.

    Neither does vanilla gelato that tasted like every other flavor in the case.

    The salted crumble was delicious. I got two pints to sustain me until January. Nice people, too.

    So they're taking a vacation in the sun. Let's not make a Greek tragedy out of it.

    At least they are fortunate to leave this mess of a country before shit gets really bad between the election and inauguration. I wish I could escape the absolute madness here. Anyways, I wish them well. Hope they will return.
