Yaffa Cafe, RIP

October 2, 2014

East Village / St. Marks institution Yaffa Cafe, which served veggie-friendly food “all nite” to drunk NYU students and others, officially closed yesterday after Department of Health problems and losing the permit for their backyard garden earlier this year. (Via EV Grieve.) The place, which opened in 1982, announced in September they were closing for three months for renovations. For those who loved their hummus, fries, salads, breakfast and other affordable fare, their recipes have been passed over to the Simone Martini Bar next door (same owners).
