VANISHINGAfter 20 years in business, the Paradise Cafe in Chelsea is closing. Today is their last day. Reader David sent in a photo of their goodbye sign:
The cafe is a throwback to the 90s, with mosaic art on the walls featuring flea-markety ceramic deer and doll heads. They also make great sandwiches. Possibly
the last independent cafe on this stretch of ever-gentrifying 8th Avenue that isn't a Starbucks, they have a much-appreciated sign by the register that reads:
"If you insist on ordering using Starbucks terms, we will be forced to charge you Starbucks prices."And another one's gone.
Go in today for a delicious sandwich at "special prices" and say goodbye. On 8th Ave near 17th St.
