Japanese Pop Art Palace Tokyo Bar to Close Saturday

A little sad shutter news this morning from Tribeca Citizen: According to signage on the door, Tribeca's Tokyo Bar will shutter after service on Halloween because of "economic conditions." The two year-old Japanese comfort food restaurant shares both owners and a building with popular subterranean cocktail bar B Flat and is known for its bonkers decor (above) which features walls and a ceiling plastered in pop art, adult anime, comics, and neon lights. Owners report that B Flat is not in the same financial dire straights and given their report that the restaurant is closed for renovations, chances are they'll reopen something new in the space.
