Lots of Japanese used to eat there, but it did seem to slip in quality and service the past few years. I’m also not sure that it’s closed permanently as opposed to temporarily. Most or all of these Japanese businesses have had trouble finding enough staff to re-open full time. Many Japanese restaurant workers moved back to Japan earlier during the pandemic and have not come back.Christopher Pelhamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-84211998142810403312022-03-17T20:13:31.869-04:002022-03-17T20:13:31.869-04:00I do!

Usually, they would work out a payment plan with their landlord in order to avoid lengthy legal action. It sounded like Cooper Union wanted to negotiate new leases, but the rent hike was probably way too high vs rent rates from 30 years ago. Even if they wanted to stay, the thought of having to pay back rent + new market rates would be unappetizing to say the least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-55794488099936649602022-03-16T16:06:10.434-04:002022-03-16T16:06:10.434-04:00Sharaku was of a different sort.

Also, no one “lives above” these places. There is a dorm for Cooper Union that is separate and set back from these properties not above them.
