Haven't been, but it's close by. Hmm. Guess now's not the time.

BTW at the end of the article they mention they were previously closed because of mice (Yikes!)

Wow. What else will happen in this city. Never a dull moment. Although I don't go to Brooklyn much, shutting them down just puts a dent in NYC's economy.

WOW. That's crazy! Cake Man Raven must think that since Jay-Z is a fan he can pretty much do whatever he wants.

@hhusted You think the health department shouldn't shut down places that pose health risks!!!! Because of the economy!!!!
