The Sunflower East Village, located on the northeast corner of Second Avenue and Fifth Street, announced
a closure for a "restructure" last fall, roughly four months after it opened following a lengthy renovation.
We haven't seen anyone inside since then, until last week, when someone removed all the tables and chairs...
... and even a kitchen sink...
Perhaps we have entered the restructuring phase?
Google still lists the business, the sibling to the Sunflower Cafe in Gramercy, as "temporarily closed." (A
legal notice on the front door last November stated that the tenant owed nearly $177,000 back rent.)
Sunflower is owned and operated by the same individuals as the previous tenant, Eros, the Greek restaurant that quietly closed in August 2022. Eros took over for their diner concept,
The Kitchen Sink, in September 2021.
Several readers have wondered how the place can remain closed for such long periods between concepts.
