A couple of East Village closings we’re sad to report — Vanishing New York has it that due to a rent increase, old-timer Five Rose’s Pizza will shutter after its final day of business on Saturday. Sure, there are other places to grab a slice, but this one was part of a dying breed of Polish businesses in the nabe. Also, according to its chalkboard, Gramstand is on the market for $250,000 or best offer. Eater hears from workers that the coffee shop will close in mid-December, and follows up with a grim list of recent shutterings.
