We heard from a nervous fan of Frank Restaurant yesterday… he/she wanted to know why the Italian mainstay at 88 Second Ave. was not open yesterday or today … calls to the restaurant went unanswered… turns out the Department of Consumer Affairs temporarily closed Frank…
As we understand it, the temporary closure has to do with a sidewalk violation — something to do with the large planters outside. For that they lose a weekend of business. The place should be back open tomorrow.

BoweryBoogie has more on the temporary closure…
We were told the DOC shut down Frank for two reasons, the sidewalk fencing was “too high” and that their Christmas tree wasn’t to fire code.
