*Everyday Chatter



Day-O, the retro restaurant on Greenwich Ave, has long been empty and we've wondered when it would reopen. Now it's officially declared Abandoned and the landlord is taking "peaceful possession":

For years, Day-O was a comfortable, affordable Italian restaurant, La Marionetta. Never crowded, it was a neighborhood eatery when those places existed. Then came the braying herds; the neighborhood died. Day-O impressed me as a loud party place although I never went in there.
