Y Cafe has closed on Avenue B
Y Cafe, the low-key, health-focused restaurant at 182 Avenue B between 11th Street and 12th Street, has closed. Several EVG readers (H/T Etienne and Nobel Neolani!) reported that Y’s last day was March 13. On Saturday, the for-rent sign arrived. According to a reader, the lease was up on the small space, and the owners decided not to renew. (Whether this was due to a rent increase is not known at the moment.) As EVG reader Etienne noted: “I really enjoyed their Thai-fusion food, friendliness and prices. It sort of saved me when Life Cafe closed.”Y Cafe opened here in April 2011… they were originally Wai?
