Word is spreading that vegan mainstay Tiengarden is closing tomorrow after 20 years at 170 Allen St. just south of Stanton.
Very bummed our (twitterless) neighbors at #TienGarden are closing after 20 years. Tomorrow is the last day. @evgrieve @LoDownNY #veganloss

The Lo-Down got the confirmation from Tiengarden, who noted that "Allen Street just isn’t what it used to be in terms of foot traffic."
The restaurant almost called it quits in 2011. The space was on the market at the time for $6,500 a month.
This also marks the fourth vegan/vegetarian friendly option to close this year around the neighborhood ... joining Pukk, Lan Cafe and B.A.D. Burger.
