“Ashiya Sushi at 374 Greenwich Street has been cleared out,” emailed Tribeca Tipster. “I passed by it the night before last and there was nothing in there.” Sure enough, the phone has a voicemail that hasn’t been activated.

It’s not a big surprise, as I had heard a while back that at least two storefronts in that strip would be opening up—and that the landlord was looking for more upscale tenants. UPDATE 6/30: “Heard that Kim’s cleaners leaving also,” commented Marla.”Moving North to Canal.”

Also, Ashiya went through a real scraping-the-bottom phase, which is never a good sign. From the March 2012 Community Board 1 unofficial minutes:

A resident of Independence Plaza North came to list the complaints: extremely drunk young people throwing up, leaning on store windows, screaming that can be heard all over, the pounding of “sake bombs.” (You pound the table until sake falls into a beer, and then you chug.) And sex on the benches outside! It does sound pretty awful, more so if you scroll through the reviews on Yelp. A favorite: “If you’re looking to fall while walking home, then come here. If you enjoy eating a shit load of sushi while chugging beers, then come here. If you’re looking to blackout then pee in a subway station, then come here prior to doing that stuff.
