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.
