St. Marks Surprise

We just barely pulled through a close call on Spring Street. Do we have the strength to overcome another shocking closing? We just have to. Last night, an East Side Little Birdy told us, "I'm on my way to SSam Bar and just saw that Simone, that cafe/bar on St. Marks and 1st, is closed. There is no note on any of the iron gates." If it's permanent, and let's pray it's not, then it is a shame. Simone was always an easy spot to grab an afternoon drink, and this City can always use more of those.
