Martick's for lease

MarticksForLease.jpg

 

An ad for the building that was the home of Martick's, the French restaurant that Morris Martick closed last year, has appeared on Craigslist. Thanks to Paul for telling me about it.

I had heard Martick was willing to either sell or lease the building, but I hadn't found the ad. ...

I also heard he was conflicted about doing anything with it, and I can see why. Morris Martick was born in the building. He had operated his restaurant there from 1970 until he retired last August at age 86.

I could have swore Martick's was there in the '60's.

...and, the chopped salad recipe? is there a price for THAT as well???

Joyce, I think it was Marconi's that had the chopped salad, not Martick's.

oh. well. never mind.....

What a coincidence. This morning's Sun has a recipe purported to be a Marconi's-style chopped salad.

Good luck to Morris.
There are probably a good number of hopefull chefs who could use a home.
Perhaps the city could find some of the government money they are receiving to help one set up shop.

Maybe Chef Joshau Hill can lease it, but only if Morris offers a two month lease :-)

I shouldn't be giggling....really. Probably not Chef Hill's kind of neighbourhood.
