Your correspondent has learned from a friend, who had made a reservation for Thanksgiving dinner at Le Petit Marche, that she has received a phone call from one of the owners of the restaurant, assuring her that the closure was indeed the result of a clerical error, claiming that it has now been rectified, and that LPM will be back in business tomorrow. We have a phone call in to the restaurant asking for confirmation.
Update: LPM has re-opened. Your correspondent went for a look-see at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, and found the DOH sign and the owners’ explanatory one both gone, replaced or obscured by colorful “Autumn Greetings” posters. Inside, well dressed people were enjoying drinks.
Clerical error?! HA! Did they get Lindsay Lohan’s spin doctor to wag this dog?
To quote nabeguy before he actually says it : le petit marche is telling le grande fib
Excusez moi, but I can speak for myself.
They passed the last inspection on 11/10.
So why were they closed down?
You dont need Lindsay Lohan here my friend its obvious.
Now seems like a good time to remind folks about our Terms of Service especially:
Commenting on businesses in which your or a friend have a financial interest: You must disclose this fact. BHB will moderate comments that are “shilling” for a business — the practice of posing as a happy, satisfied customer of an establishment who wants to tell everyone how great that business is and how everyone should go there. If a business owner wants to post in a thread relevant to their business they must disclose that they are the owner or a friend or relative of the owner. Even if you are a well meaning business owner, friend or relative of a business owner failure to disclose your interest in a comment will do more harm that good for that business.

And BF, yes we reported the LPM passed inspection on 11/11:

But they racked up 23 points of violations. 28 is failing. We’re investigating the story and would love to get LPM’s first hand side of the story — specifically what were these “clerical errors”?
Just passed LPM. It’s reopened. Would love to get the whole skinny….
If LPM has reopened, why are the Dept of Health stickers still on its windows?
