The dubiously named restaurant Pancho Gringo has shuttered in Manhattanville after opening three months ago. As reported at the end of last September, the distinct Thai Latin Restaurant known as Talay went under new management and changed its name to Pancho Gringo. Most folks still called it Talay since the original facade and name were still on the building. When we walked by last week, the circular Pancho Gringo sign had vanished and Talay only remained. The space could really be something under the right management, but they need to get the taste level right in the place. Fusion went out the with the 90's, so focusing on a talented chef and authentic, pure cuisine might be some good advice to follow. Next door's Covo Trattoria, the Italian eatery seems to be doing okay with this scenario. Read more about Pancho Gringo and Talay in our past post:

Covo always seems busy. The one business in that stretch that seems to be thriving.
