Soho Italian Standby I Tre Merli Closed Up Shop Recently

On Memorial Day, somewhat-generic, rather-pleasant, tourist-heavy Soho Italian restaurant I Tre Merli quietly closed its doors. A tipster was by recently and noticed the restaurant had been cleared out and is now for lease. According to an announcement on Facebook from before the shutter, it had to do with rent: "competition from luxury firms has driven rentals to a level that makes it very difficult to do business here." The I Tre Merli team is reportedly looking for a new location for the almost 30-year-old restaurant.
