Chicken & the Egg closes; taqueria in the works for the space

Chicken & the Egg has closed at 221 Second Ave. between 13th Street and 14th Street. 

Signage notes the new business coming soon: Dear Rufino Taqueria...
We're not sure who's behind the new establishment... and if the closure also impacts Sincerely, Ophelia, the speakeasy in the back. 

The fried chicken sandwich restaurant-speakeasy combo opened in August 2022.

Place reeked of Emmmpire Biscuit vibe

The place definitely gave off a odd vibe. I don't know what it was about that place, but even times I went out specifically to go there, I would end up not going in. I never had a bad experience there, it just always ended up getting skipped for something else.

Whoa, Empire Biscuit is a harsh slag. But I'll allow it.

Sincerely, Ophelia is still open. It seems the taqueria is from the same owners, just changing the front store concept (Dear so and so with Sincerely so and so…).

Sad about Chicken and Egg, the chicken was actually pretty decent and affordable. Just always forgot about it. Excited for the taqueria though.

Can someone fill me in on the Empire Biscuit reference? I'm intrigued...
