Wylie Dufresne's Stomping Grounds Can Now Be Yours
71 Clinton Street, the former home of 71 Clinton Fresh Food and one of the New York dining world’s most hallowed addresses, will be back on the market next week after a previous deal collapsed. A Craigslist ad that put the rent at $11,500 for 1,200 square feet plus basement has now been removed, presumably because Tower Brokerage is adding the option of an adjacent corner space. Tower honcho Bob Perl says the previous lessee couldn’t handle the high rent and abandoned the space a week and a half ago. “It was an unknown-name type of entity,” Perl told us, speculating that they were inexperienced first-time operators.

Cain's Not Moving, Just Expanding to the Bahamas
Earlier this week a broker revealed to us that GoldBar, the new project from Cain's Robert McKinley and Jamie Mulholland, would resemble Pangea, prompting a PR rep to vehemently disagree. "Whoever said anything about bottle service?" the rep writes. "Couldn't be farther from what this project is about." (No word, of course, on what it is about.) Meanwhile, Mulholland himself refuted industry rumors that Cain is considering a move from West 27th Street, saying business is stronger than ever and he looks at three or four spaces a week only because "it's good to have your ears to the ground." One move we can tell you to expect: If all goes as planned, a Cain Beach Club will be opening in the new Cove luxury hotel complex on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Now we know where Bobby Flay, who's opening a Mesa Grill on the island, will be throwing down. —Daniel Maurer Earlier: Cain's Secret Project to Bring a Whole Lotta Bling to Little Italy

Sascha Purchased By Markt in Meatpacking Musical Chairs
Eater reported yesterday that long-suffering meatpacking wannabistro Sascha, a big restaurant with few customers, has finally given up the ghost. And in doing so, given neighbor Markt a chance to downsize. We have it that the owner of Sascha's space, Robert Romanoff, has rented it to Markt's people, who will soon shutter and retreat from 14th Street and Ninth Avenue to Gansevoort Street, in what appears to be an effort to get out from under an oppressive lease. Wasn’t it just yesterday that the neighborhood was seen as a gold mine? It's now seeming like it might soon be stripped.
