Inexpensive Japanese Favorite Family Recipe to Close

After almost three years in business, chef/restaurateur Akiko Turnauer and the crew behind inexpensive Japanese cafe Family Recipe are deciding to call it quits. On Saturday evening, the management announced the impending closure on Twitter: "Thank you so much for all your support nearly 3 years. we have to inform that we are closing for good on 6/22 Sunday." Family Recipe got strong reviews from the Times, the Village Voice, and a handful of blogs, and it was a Michelin Bib Gourmand pick for the last two years. No word yet on what Turnauer plans to do next.
