Twitter is the Latest Tool in DOH Cover Ups
Restaurants have all sorts of creative ways to cover up the big yellow sticker that lets people know their establishment has been closed by the DOH. But using Twitter to preemptively alert your customers that you will be “closing for the holidays” is a new one. Yesterday, we thought that maybe Mantao Chinese Sandwiches (which announced they will be closed through the weekend) got their Thanksgiving dates mixed up. Nope! According to Lunch’er “ceh” they were closed by the DOH. Mantao has since deleted the tweet, but you can still see it on the ML Twitter Tracker. So much for the “Chinese Thanksgiving” theory…
This morning a Mantao employee answered the phone and said that their boiler is broken and they are waiting for the landlord to fix it. According to her it could happen this morning, in which case they’d be open for lunch today (although I’d call ahead.)

Ha ha ha. This is hilarious. I’m really looking forward to when I can “twitter in sick to work”.
