The Marshal takes legal possession of Baar Baar on 1st Street

Baar Baar, the self-described "Indian gastro bar," closed back in September at 13 E. First St. between Second Avenue and the Bowery... a development we realized we didn't note. 

This past week, the Marshal paid a visit, taking legal possession of the space on behalf of the landlord...
Baar Baar opened in late 2017...taking over for the high-end Italian restaurant L'Apico. 

We tried Baar Baar once. Let's just say it had strong “mall in Vegas" energy, and not in a good way. The recent arrival of more interesting Indian restaurants, such as Bungalow and Adda, likely didn't help business. 

And this is the second restaurant here in the Avalon Bowery Place complex to close this fall... joining Kobano around the corner on the Bowery...

    I don't think there ever could be a good way.
