La Petite Auberge, Meridiana, La Fonda Boricua All Close

1) Midtown: According to this Chowhound thread and the restaurant's website, La Petite Auberge, an anonymous 35 year-old French restaurant and Who Goes There vet, is closing on October 8. The owners write, "It has been our privilege to serve you and we look forward to toasting with you one last time," and promise a celebratory glass of champagne at the end of the meal to all who come to say goodbye.

2) Williamsburg: Per a tipster: "I have a sneaking suspicion that Papa Lima on Bedford Avenue & South 4th Street has closed. It hasn't been open the past few times I walked by when it should have been." There have been no answers to phone calls. File under vague and suspected shutter. [ShutterWire]
