Final week for Boris & Horton?

Boris & Horton is done to its last few days on the NW corner of Avenue A and 12th Street. Or are they?

In announcing their schedule this last week on Instagram, they wrote: "we're hopeful that one of our customers will be taking over and reopening in 2025." 

This has been the home to the city's first dog cafe for the past six-plus years.

Earlier this month, ownership (daughter-father Logan Mikhly and Coppy Holzman) posted notices that they would close at the end of November. This development happened even after a successful crowdfunding campaign and a newly enacted subscription plan earlier this year. 

From an Instagram post on Nov. 11: 
Despite these efforts, we've experienced a significant drop in our monthly subscriptions, with almost 90% churn, and our sales are slightly down compared to last year when we initially made the difficult decision to close. 
Mikhly and Holzman said they've previously met with potential suitors but have yet to close a deal. 

The retail space remains on the rental market. 

Still, it sounds like they are keeping the faith this Thanksgiving week...
