Never went there. My spot is around the corner at Uncle Vinnie's Clam Bar.....amazing shrimp puttanesca. Lots of politics happen there.
Never went to Michael's, but reading the Patch article, it looks like the building is up for sale. Usually new owners come in and raise the rents. Sometimes with these long-time family places they just want to retire and there isn't a new generation to take over.
One exception in my town was the family who owned a popular pizzeria and Italian restaurant. They wanted to retire to Florida after 35 years in business so they found a new family to take over, trained the staff and handed over the recipes. The place is still very good.

Keep that spot on the hush!Never went there. My spot is around the corner at Uncle Vinnie's Clam Bar.....amazing shrimp puttanesca. Lots of politics happen there.
HA googled it, was there one time and left after someone caused a ruckus by bringing their full-sized pet pig inside
Not everyone has good taste in women
I wasn't a regular but enjoyed going there for an occasional beer or something to eat. The old local bars seem to be a dying breed.
It’s truly a shame. The local family owned tavern is so important to close knit neighborhoods
N.J. bar will close after 55 years ‘with deep sadness’
I have been there many times......Some friends of mine stopped there on Thursday and the door was locked.
It’s sad , the small family owned bars took a big hit a few years ago and some just can’t catch up their losses.
Sounds like the owners also had staffing issues and were burned out from running the biz with the extra challenges.
