George’s Eastside BBQ Shutters After More than a Decade on LES | Eater NY

"After 11 years of serving Southern-style barbecue plates and sandwiches on the Lower East Side, Georgia's Eastside BBQ closed after service on May 6th. I read a farewell post on Instagram saying the shutdown resulted from multiple reasons but 'principally construction problems'; the restaurant, which was located next to the luxury condo development undergoing construction at 196 Orchard St., had complained about that project in March, and owner Alan Natkiel told Bowery Boogie last August that a temporary DOH closure for vermin issues was the direct result of the neighboring construction." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
