Former Valentina's Laundromat On Smith Street To Become Yet Another Bar/Restaurant

Groan! Not another one...don't we have enough bars and restaurants on Smith Street already?

Valentina's, the little laundromat that used to operate at 216 Smith Street, closed its doors in April. Back then, one of my readers commented:

"Another victim of rising rents on Smith St. They fought a losing battle to work with the landlord. So another 18 year tenant is displaced. Valentina and her husband Nissen will be missed."

Now, months later, a restaurant/bar is replacing it. A certain Verde N.Y., Inc has applied for a beer, wine and liquor license.

Honestly, I think at this point, we need a laundromat more than another dinner spot. But of course, only a place with a liquor license can pay the rents on Smith.
