The West African snack shack called Kuti's at 355 West 116th has had great reviews for its quality ingredients and affordable prices but apparently has not been opened recently. A Bespoke reader mentioned that that eatery just around the corner from Morningside Park has been shutter for over a week now and wanted to know if anyone had any updates on this local shop? Kuti's is sort of a hole-in-the-wall type of establishment with cheap offerings but in a good way so it would be a shame if it shutters.

@Christopher:
ReplyDeleteYeah, looks like they won't be coming back anytime soon.
Geez.
That reminds me, are all those food trucks inspected too?
Vic, yes they are and are supposed to have their inspection cert and license on display at all time.
