Sad News For Those In Bay Ridge--Mr. Tang Is Out Of Business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                          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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
