"A Carroll Gardens cocktail bar, Barely Disfigured closed the day after Halloween after doing solid business through the end of September; owner Jeremy Andre said winterizing outdoor seating would cost more than $40,000 (for heat lamps and covering the backyard), the space could seat about 60 between backyard and sidewalk, and the bar received a six-month discount from its landlord while the owner opted to save money to reopen rather than invest in costly winterization." - Tanay Warerkar
