Our new YouTube Episode 3: Lower East Side - Then and Now is live on our James and Karla YouTube channel. In our latest episode, we visit independently-owned shops including the newly opened Two Bridge’s Diner on Canal Street by Eldridge. Two Bridge’s Diner was founded by the former co-owner of the beloved Cup & Saucer Diner, John Vasilopoulos and his brother Teddy. Cup & Saucer was forced to close in 2017 after their rent was greatly increased from $8,200 a month to $15,800 a month and their real estate taxes were also increased. We were so saddened by the news, that we decided to include our near life-size photo of the Cup & Saucer Luncheonette in our @momandpopsles art installation inside Seward Park, which you can see until the end of June 2019. • We were so happy to see that John and Teddy were able to reopen their new diner right next door to where Cup & Saucer used to be. •
We had a cheeseburger 🍔 deluxe with fries 🍟 and a grilled cheese sandwich 🥪 to celebrate the opening and our rescue dog 🐕 @hudsonpittienyc had his own hamburger 🍔 thanks to Teddy!
