Bombay Talkie, Leske's Bakery and More Shutter

2) Upper West Side: Popover Cafe, the 32 year-old Upper West Side institution closed for good on Sunday.

3) LIC: Brookyn Cupcake, the Williamsburg-based mini chain has shuttered its Long Island City location. Owner Carmen Rodriguez tells the LIC Post that the shop, which shared a space with an Uncle Louie G's outpost, just wasn't attracting customers.

6) Carroll Gardens: Casa Rosa, an old school Italian restaurant on Court Street, has closed after 34 years in business. Louis Catuogno, who had owned the restaurant since the late 90s, passed away a few months ago, which may have something to do with the shuttering. [PMFA]
