The China Cup Tea Company, formerly the Chinese restaurant, on 176th Street next to the Clova closed its doors earlier this year. The building has sat empty with a for lease sign in the window. A couple of months ago a for sale sign also appeared in the window.
Tonight I walked past surprised to see lights on inside the restaurant and two women in there cleaning. I thought they might be the new proprietors and getting the place ready for operation again. However I realized that one woman was sweeping up huge chunks of glass.
Oops. I guess someone must have busted in a window earlier this evening.
I walked by today around noon and all the windows were in place. Obviously a glazier had been in to replace the window because all windows were intact when I walked past awhile ago.
And sadly its doubtful the two women are the new proprietors. They were likely called in to clean up the mess or they work for the glazier and that's part of the service they offer.
**Updated** when I walked past in the morning its clear that the side window on the right side of the door was smashed in and a piece of plywood has been nailed up. The window is not repaired yet. And there is still glass shards on the sidewalk.
