EaterWire: Yaffa's Tea Room Auction, FergusStock '09

TRIBECA— Coming across the ShutterWire: "RIP Yaffa's Tea Room. Yaffa's on Greenwich Street and Harrison is auctioning off their furniture and goods RIGHT NOW." There's no answer at the restaurant, so this may be the chance for a goodbye keepsake (or a cheap table). [EaterWire]

LOWER EAST SIDE— Though simple, sweet, Freemans-adjacent restaurant The National opened back in April, they've just now been picked up by Women's Wear Daily, GastroChic, and Grub Street. Grubz has their latest menu. [WWD; GC; GS]

WEST VILLAGE— The Feedbag has some info on this year's FergusStock an event inspired by London chef Fergus Henderson's annual visits to New York: "The British chef, famed for his meaty ways, will be doing another massive animalistic event at The Spotted Pig on October 15th, followed up a dinner the next night at The Breslin Bar & Dining Room, and, inevitably, by 'Fergus’s Hangover Brunch' at The Ace Hotel lobby restaurant on Saturday, Oct 17th."
