Scaletta

VANISHED

Scaletta Ristorante has been on the Upper West Side for thirty years. Recently, I walked past times in addition to looked at its one-time yellowish sign in addition to idea I should banking firm agree it out, because the one-time yellowish sign seemed similar an indication of something authentically New York in addition to a footling flake hidden. It likewise made me think: That can't last.

Now I won't teach the jeopardy because the landlord gave Scaletta the boot. Last black was their final night.



West Side Rag reported the word in addition to shared Scaletta's banking firm notation to customers, which included this pointed bit:

"You mightiness live wondering whether nosotros were all the same unopen to other victim of astronomical rents? Well, to eliminate whatever speculation, here’s the story.

Yes, our rent had steadily climbed up, but no, it wasn’t the ultimate argue for our closing. In fact, nosotros were willing to tum all the same unopen to other rent increase, in addition to invest inwards gut renovating our infinite in addition to committing to unopen to other decade or more. No, the truth is nosotros only weren’t wanted. Our landlords coveted a shinier, fancier model inwards our place. To our landlord, equally good equally to many inwards NYC these days, a celebrity chef-owned chain, or somebody equity backed steakhouse sounds a lot sexier than a family-owned Italian joint.

We teach it. However, when nosotros await out at the incredible release of retail vacancies polluting our neighborhood, including i prominently empty infinite on our really corner, nosotros enquiry whether pursuing big cry tenants is sharp concern or only quixotic. Commercial vacancies receive got teach a blight on our communities, in addition to all the same it’s non for a lack of feasible concern models. It’s only short-sighted greed."

There yous receive got it inwards a nutshell. Once again, if you're sick of this shit, hither are unopen to extremely simple, tardily things yous tin practise to endeavour in addition to practise unopen to positive change: do this in addition to practise that

Their landlord, Equity Residential, told West Side Rag, "We are excited almost the possibilities the hereafter holds for this space.”
