The news is shattering, girls. And it started Monday evening.
After our Passover and Easter celebrations, David had had it with cooking, so we went for some take-out. I opted for Pete's (Pizza), while Daavid chose Mr. Tang.
Now, we know Mr. Tang is closed on Tuesdays. But we were surprised, not to see Mr. Tang closed on Monday, but, inside, it looked like the place had been abandoned, or was about to be cleaned. There was no sign, and we had no idea.
Last night, we tried again. This time there was a sign--"Mr. Tang is out of business."
After 39 years? What happened? My younger self lived in Bay Ridge, from 1983 until 1997. And all during that time, there was Mr. Tang--the best Chinese food in Bay Ridge, by far!!!!!!!!!!! In the early days, which I rememeber, they had a sit-in dining room. But, sometime between leaving and then returning to Bay Ridge, that area was sold, and is now Tanoreen, a Middle Eastern restaurant. Thankfully, Mr. Tang still offered take-out.
But we have no idea, and I wish someone would explain. It survived 2020, which was the worst, and if they could get through that, then why not 2021, when things are slightly looking up. Or, at least, have made enormous improvements, since last year.
Bay Ridge will never be the same, without Mr. Tang. But we still love it here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fer'well, Mr. Tang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
