Closing: Pinch, Pizza by the Inch

Posted by Adam Kuban, June 22, 2007 at 12:48 PM

My name is Todd Birnbaum, and I am one of the creators and owners of Pinch...Many rumors have been circling regarding our future, or supposed lack thereof, so I am writing to set the record straight. We will be closing this Friday in our current location. This is occurring because of a lease issue, not the arrival of CPK or any other crazy reason. We will be partnering with another concept and reopening on the Upper West Side by summers end. Upon establishment of the new location, we plan on opening many more locations, including a return to the Park Avenue South area.

I've really loved having Pinch across the street. Bummed to see them leave.

Well, I just started working in the area, and I thought I found a really neat place. I went there for the first and last time last Thursday. Bummer.

Todd...I look forward to seeing where you and Matthew end up. Everyone in my office is mourning your departure. You ran an excellent business and we enjoyed spending our money at your restaurant. I anxiously await your next address...only the best to you both, Michael

Hey guys, you done good, and when you're ready we'll welcome you back to Park Avenue with open arms. I look forward to your return with a new freezer for gelatto too. Regarding CPK, psha, that stuff can't hold a candle, seriously.

Todd and Matthew, We came by for dinner last Tuesday and were shocked to see that you were gone! Good luck on your next venture. We can't wait to try it. All best, Marilyn and family
