Terms of Endearment

"Terms of Endearment, a vegan cafe, has shuttered after four years. The restaurant did not provide a reason for the closure, but a Marshal’s notice on the door says the building’s landlord has taken possession of the space. Ahead of the closure, Terms of Endearment was hit with a wave of health code violations that included improperly storing raw foods; it was given a C letter grade on January 5. The business is the latest in a string of closures from restaurateur Brad Baker, who is also behind the Brooklyn restaurants Hartbreakers, Champs Diner, and Screamer’s Pizzeria. All of the businesses have closed locations in recent months: Screamers shuttered its Greenpoint pizzeria last fall after its lease expired, and Champs Diner followed in January; in Bushwick, Hartbreakers and its next-door taqueria Paradise Taco closed last month, too. Only a location of Screamer’s Pizzeria in Crown Heights remains." - Luke Fortney
