The Gothamist: Milk Street Cafe, Which Blamed Occupy Wall Street For Bad Business, Closing Tomorrow    "Hope you're happy, Occupy Wall Street.

You'll recall that Marc Epstein, the owner of the kosher upscale food court that opened in June on Wall Street, laid off a quarter of his staff at the end of October, when the Occupy Wall Street occupation at nearby Zuccotti Park was at its zenith.
