I was just talking last night with a Upper East Side-dwelling friend of mine about the wonderful unchanging character of upper Lexington Avenue, mentioning such stalwarts as the Lexington Candy Shop and Donohue's Steak House.
And today I wake up to the awful news that
Donohue's has been shut down by the DOH. Hopefully, they will clean up and reopen soon. Love that place. Here's my "
Who Goes There?" column from two years back.
I really love places like this. They provide real solace and comfort. I can really relate to a place you can sit quietly for a few hours. Hope they get their act together.
ReplyDeleteI live down the block from this neighborhood institution. Donohue's was closed for non-food related violations (holes in the ceiling, etc.). The owners are working hard to rectify and will re-open soon.
