"More than a decade after Greenwich Village said farewell to Le Figaro Café, the storied corner restaurant is preparing for a comeback under the direction of Mario Skaric. The new Figaro Café has dropped the 'Le' from its name and will be 'more upscale' while paying homage to the original restaurant. The appeal of Le Figaro Café was never really about the food or coffee but rather its affordable menu and warm dining room that served celebrities. The new establishment will have a modern look, as the original interior was ransacked when it closed." - Luke Fortney
