Now my company is moving away from the Flatiron/Union Square office and up town a bit we wouldn’t be going to Cedar Tavern much anyway. Still the ‘shelf’ became an institution to a few of us at our company. They let us stand there when everyone else had to sit and even widened it so it would fit two points across.

I walked past it over the weekend and was struck by how unlike a bar-about-to-be-reopened the building looked. And now I see this, suggesting it isn’t coming back.

We never found a rightful replacement for Cedar, Cutting Room coming the closest. Now we’ll have to find a new haunt near here and perhaps never have the option of going back to Cedar.

I knew we should have asked for that shelf to mount it in the new office, along with the other paraphernalia.

So we’re moving office next week, seven and a half years after starting the business in a space that was always a bit dot com, served us well but now we’ve outgrown it and it’s time to move on.
