Red Pepper has apparently closed

Several weeks ago, a notice appeared outside Red Pepper saying that they are temporarily closed for "mandatory repairs" in the building…

Now there's a for rent sign outside ... marking the end of the Sichuan restaurant that opened last September at 324 E. Sixth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Has The Red Pepper closed on East 6th Street?

A few readers have asked us about this… the note out front says they are temporarily closed for "mandatory repairs" in the building…



Red Pepper's phone number is currently not in service … and there isn't a mention of the closure on their website. And the city hasn't issued any work permits for the address in the past 11 months. (Not that you need permits to make mandatory repairs.)
