Cafe Blossom, the vegan restaurant on 82nd and Columbus, is closing in a week and the owners recently sent a note saying goodbye to customers.
The said the closure was caused by “building management issues beyond our control,” and pledged to reopen if they can find new space. We had heard that the rent was more than doubled.
“Lastly, we are exploring vacancies in the neighborhood and will be sure to send an update if we find the right location to reopen.”
Gothamist called Blossom’s Soy Bacon Cheeseburger one of the best vegan dishes in the city last year.
