MiGarba shuts down on 4th Avenue: 'We close due to New York restrictions and unsustainable rent'

After five-plus years in business, MiGarba has closed at 127 Fourth Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street. (Thanks to Doug for the tip!)

A note on the door for patrons provides the reasons: "We close due to New York restrictions and unsustainable rent."
The pleasant wine bar/cafe, the first U.S. outpost of a Tuscany-based outfit, was a nice departure from the more fratty choices in the immediate area. 

Speaking of which, right in the same building... while there hasn't been any official confirmation, BarBacon remains shuttered... we haven't seen any activity here in months... and the interior looks to have been cleaned out...
The swine-dining bar opened in September 2018.

    Went to buy winter boots down Broadway on Saturday. Very little was left open. Was a little shocking. Went south about 8 blocks before finding a shoe store that was not boarded up selling boots. Usually there are too many stores to choose from and I get impatient and just pick any to go into. Was past houston before finding something. Wonder how Chinatown is doing...

    Bar Bacon has to have been one of the worst ideas ever implemented.
