A couple of Bespoke tips have come in mentioning that Chez Lucienne on Lenox has not been open in the past few days. Many might remember that the elegant French bistro was the first of its kind to open up on the blocks north of 125th Street back in 2009 and lead the way for other establishments such as Red Rooster, Inoue Sushi, Corner Social, Babbalucci, Yuzu and Lenox Coffee to set up shop on the famous boulevard. Apparently there are no signs up on the window mentioning what the status is but we will swing by this afternoon to see what is going on.
Oh no! I go out of my way to go to that place.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gwin. Chez Lucienne is a sweet spot with simple charm. I'd hate to see it go.
ReplyDeleteI loved going there before Red Rooster opened and after. However after not visiting for a few years, I went back recently. Wow did it go downhill. Maybe they knew the writing was on the wall.
ReplyDeleteThe lower photo was taken this afternoon and the restaurant is entirely dark at evening tonight.
ReplyDeleteThere was someone in there this morning and he told me that Con Ed had cut the electricity, in fact there was a ConEd truck right outside doing something, and that today would be a cleanup day and that they would reopen tomorrow. Why they didn’t stick a sign in the window is anyone’s guess.
