Dani Gives Up the Ghost

Dani has closed, apparently. Eater has it from a sign on the window that Don Pintabona’s much-praised, but seldom-visited, Southern Italian restaurant on the fringes of Hudson Square has gone into the banquet business full-time. While that’s generally been an indicator of failure, there’s no doubt that a lot of restaurants (Guastavino’s comes to mind) have continued to make pretty good money by not serving meals. The restaurant business is truly a strange one. Deathwatching: Dani Goes Bye-Bye [Eater] Related: Dani Says, ‘You Be the Chef — and the Investor!’
