"I learned that Con Sofrito, a Bronx restaurant where Mayor Eric Adams celebrated his birthday last year, is shutting down after a bitter lawsuit with its landlord; in recent months it was hit with safety violations over a “party room” built in its parking lot without proper permits, the landlord 1315 Commerce LLC sued owner Richard Caban (brother of NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban), and court papers show Caban agreed to pay a $14,000 settlement and close Con Sofrito by August 31." - Luke Fortney
