The Sympathy for the Kettle tea salon at 109 St. Mark's Place, which, I admit, never visited, is now boarded up...and their phone has been disconnected. Another merchant on the street told me the shop closed last week.
A Yelp commenter said the owner was planning on opening another store in a new location.
