"Alleva Dairy, a Little Italy cheese shop that’s been operating on Grand Street for over a century, has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy over some $500,000 in unpaid rent amassed during the pandemic. According to a spokesperson for the shop, owner Karen King and the building’s landlord weren’t able to reach an agreement to pay off the rent. “Today is one of the saddest days in the 130-year history of this illustrious Little Italy landmark,” King said in a statement. “We will continue to strive to keep Alleva Dairy alive.”" - Luke Fortney
