No, We’re Still Dealing With Ragnarok

With all the other restaurant switching going on, several commenters have asked about Haakon’s Hall, which was supposed to replaced Radio Perfecto last fall (including free wifi). Today, though, Bwog Viking Establishment Correspondent James Downie investigated, and found a notice saying that the opening has been delayed until April. 

Hang on, then, Valhalla aspirants – your cuisine will be here soon.

QuickSpec: As Ephemeral as Autumn Edition

Iceland’s President keeps his politics cool, and then in a snowy flourish, he was gone.

Radio Perfecto came and went… and now it’s time for something completely different.

Columbia’s Capital Campaign gets a boost.

So Long Radio Perfecto, Hello Haakon’s Hall

Add Radio Perfecto to the growing list of Morningside establishments to bite the dust. Signs (right) have been hanging outside the bar announcing the bar’s “vacation” since early July.

But what brought about the covert demise of Radio Perfecto? If the enraged graffiti poetry on the sign is any indication, it was a conspiracy involving President Bush and grocery stores, obviously. Our informant/photographer has dutifully transcribed this startling revelation:

“You insulted / Pres Bush / Now you are bankrupt” “Oh. So _that’s_ what / happened to the / rest of the country!” and “This place had an insulting caricature / of the president behind the bar for years. / What business idiots. I guess we will get / another grocery now.”

Except despite this conspiracy theorist’s horrible poetry, which foretold of “another grocery”, it looks like Radio Perfecto’s old space will now be home to a Southern home cooking restaurant, a self-described “taste of home in the heart of the city.”

It’s called Haakon’s Hall and we have details (plus their advertisements) after the jump.

BREAKING–Incident at Radio Perfecto

Word has it a man was shot and killed at Radio Perfecto earlier this evening. Some serious shit definitely transpired: as Bwog passed the bar at 118th and Amsterdam at around 3:45 AM it spotted about a half-dozen police cars, an ambulance, and a camera crew; the block had been cordoned off with police tape and the victim’s body had been taken outside. As the restaurant is across the street from Schermerhorn and only two blocks from Plimpton, Bwog is pretty rattled–sources at the crime scene said that this was a shooting death, but we’ll have more details as they emerge.

Eyewitness account after the jump. Read more…
