Sad news on the Greenpoint business front, longtime Manhattan Avenue family owned business Zayas Appliance has gone out of business. From Crain’s New York:
Zayas Appliance by TrespassersWill via Flickr
Zayas Appliance, a Greenpoint, Brooklyn, fixture since 1972, has gone out of business. The store, which may be the oldest in the neighborhood, was shuttered as a result of a recent Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing by its corporate parent, E-D & G Inc.
The appliance store, at 845 Manhattan Ave., is the latest casualty in a string of closures by local merchants, who have struggled as a result of the flagging economy.
Read the rest here.
It’s sad to see the old businesses from my youth close. It’s also sad that there aren’t any new businesses really popping up. Manhattan Avenue has quite a few empty storefronts and it’s depressing.
Hats off to Zayas Appliance, you’ll be missed.

UPDATE: Jan has been found. Thank you to everyone who spread the word!
Karen Nieves sent a call out for help finding a friend’s father. The Matlak family is originally from Greenpoint, so any Greenpointers who have moved on to the Queens regions, share and keep a look out.
Hi all,
My friend’s dad has been missing for over 24hrs. He has Alzheimer’s and the family is devasted. Currently he lives in Woodhaven Queens but is originally from Greenpoint. I have attached a flyer with all the details. Please spread the word.
Thank you
Karen Nieves

Updated post here.
Long time Williamsburg Polish restaurant Raymund’s Place quietly closed up shop a few weeks ago despite “renovation” signs. A new restaurant – Kettle Pie – has applied for their liquor license and apparently will be taking it’s place. Kettle Pie Inc. was recently incorporated and falls into the “bakeries & catering” category… Curiouser and curiouser…
