"A spokesperson for [Department of Consumer Affairs] told us that [...] 'after a restaurant closes, DCA allows its enclosed cafe to remain for a period of time to allow for its transition to a new owner. If the location remains unoccupied after that period, the landlord would be responsible for removing it.'

Good riddance. A truly offensive-looking place (I never went in) — George Bacon on Razzledazzle Barbershop has closed

Are such as enclosed sidewalk extensions "grandfathered" forever? Or is there a cut-off point after x-number of tenants or years? Anyway, bring back the Delphi! That corner has been a jinx ever since they left . . . — George Bacon on A Summer Day Cafe closed?

Why oh why did the city allow the Four Seasons to tower over the Woolworth? Tragically adding to the ever-splintering decline of the Manhattan skyline. — TG on Loft Peeping: The Woolworth Building’s pavilions

This is true. Hence the question mark. — Tribeca Citizen on Italian market coming to Broadway and Canal…finally?

This place was run poorly, and not at all an asset to the neighborhood. The food was subpar, (after 3 visits we gave up) the menu odd, the decor a strange mishmash, the service middling, but worst of all, they had a Grade Pending Health Grade and chose to hide it far from the entrance (in a small window on the Reade-facing side of the structure) so it appeared it had no grade at all. That’s not the way to serve nor respect your customers. The structure itself has been a blight on the street for years. It’s tough running profitable restaurants, and we do support many local establishments, but this one seemed to have little respect for its customers, and I’m not sorry to see it go. The one significant drawback to its demise: a vacant space is perhaps worse than a forgettable one. — K on A Summer Day Cafe closed?
