Reports are pouring in that Cafe Zaiya (on 41st btw. Mad+5th), winner of best Japanese Fast Food in Midtown 3 years running, has been shuttered for non-payment of taxes. They’ve had their fair share of trouble over the years, mostly with the DOH, but this sounds pretty serious. A person who answered the phone at the store said they are hoping to be back open tomorrow, so it doesn’t sound like this is the end of one of our favorite lunch spots in all of Midtown. Here’s hoping the problem will be resolved quickly!

Yes, hope the Cooper Square location is still open!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Where will I get my black sesame soft serve fix? Do the other locations have that?

It’s ice cream, rather than soft serve…but Sundae’s and Cones down near East Village has black sesame and other Japanese/Asian flavors.

Most appropriate icon for this situation.
Would a tax levy really, REALLY be fixed within one day? Does the State of NY really move that fast?

Any word if the off-shoot shop in the Japanese bookstore, or the Astor PL store are still open?
