Author Sloane Crosley:

RIP Milady's. If I could reminisce with accuracy about a single experience within your walls, this tweet would be moot.

Blogger Chris Schonberger:

Damn, Milady's is facing the grim reaper too? Was always a good escape from shopping-mall Soho for a chicken quesadilla & pint of Guinness.

Chef Alex Raij:

Saveur's Helen Rosner:

When I first moved to NY I used to go to Milady's alone and drink a beer & read a book & pretend to belong.

Foursquare's Harry Heymann:

A cpl of yrs ago at Milady's, I had to buy a round of shots after losing a bet to @espiers when Duke beat UNC on that crazy Austin Rivers 3.

The New Yorker's Sasha Frere-Jones:

So we just lost Milday's, Gray's Papaya and Cooper Union. When does the municipal name change to "Bank of America presents New York"?

Curbed's Sarah Cox:

So Milady's is not only closing, but is going to be way too crowded with nostalgia for the next two nights.

— Sarah F Cox (@xoxoCox) January 11, 2014

Author David Gilbert:

Sad that Milady's is gone. It was never the destination yet always seemed to end up being the journey's end.

— David Gilbert (@Davegilbs) January 11, 2014

Eater's Scott Solish:

Hopefully someone has gotten the lease for Milady's and will open a classic New York dive bar with $30 cocktails and 365 day aged rib eyes

Outgoing New York Times Magazine editor Hugo Lindgren:

One of the worst bathrooms in New York but who doesn't love Milady's? http://t.co/fATm5TB8ol pic.twitter.com/7XVzwBi1tb

In his first two weeks as mayor, De Blasio has lost both Gray's Papaya and Milady's. h/t @TadAllagash

Milady's closing is horrible news. One of the best bars in NYC.

— Paul Barnes (@LennyIce) January 11, 2014

Milady's is closing. Literally the best place in SoHo. How batshit crazy would it be to roadtrip up there tomorrow night to pay my respects?

— schlappattack (@schlappattack) January 11, 2014

— Ben Detrick (@bdetrick) January 11, 2014
