Restaurants that were once famous in New York City have now turned into shelters for the homeless and it’s causing massive concern amongst citizens.
What many are calling dining disasters are now new homes for those who have nowhere else to go as they start to seek refuge in these no-go areas for the public.
Local media reports have gone on to describe the dire state of these once-famous eateries where the dining sheds are completely abandoned and that means more places for huge garbage dumps and pile-ups, not to mention the fact that there are so many homeless people that are happy to live in them.
But the matter certainly isn’t going unnoticed by plenty, especially those that feel that it’s a complete waste of space and a hazard to society, with authorities turning a blind eye to the matter as a whole.
“They have certainly become a source of pollution in the city, people are dumping their garbage, others are living, and it’s also providing blockage to traffic in a city that’s hustling and bustling,” mentioned one furious citizen who says he’s had enough.
But who are these restaurants and why are they abandoned is a question on so many people’s minds. Well, the pandemic has plenty to do with just that as many of the eateries were forced to shut down due to the rules being implemented for COVID-19 SOPs.
Therefore, as the eateries struggled to survive the losses, many began to shut down, one by one. Many citizens feel it’s such a shame because there were some great names who managed to provide great food and service. But today, seeing them in this helpless state is just appalling and unbelievable for many.
Located between the famous Houston and Bleecker Streets, one hut even belonged to the loved French restaurant, Bosie that served great afternoon tea. Then there was Le Souk, a famous place that provided belly dancing views and hookah too. But now, all the doors are padlocked and many feel sad watching them go down the drain.
