Ruh Roh Raggy!

Looks like Paris Baguette joins Masion Kayser and LPQ in having issues during pandemic.

Stores in Koreatown and on UES are being sued for non-payment of rent.

Paris Baguette is Korean, not French at all, here’s an example of cultural appropriation. And it is not even that good.

I wouldn't say it's bad--it's just a very different kind of bakery. I mean, who doesn't love hot dogs baked into bread with a slightly sweet glaze?

No, seriously, I love those.

I like all of them Paris Baguette, Masion Kayser and LPQ

Masion Kayser is traditional and high quality but I like the creativity of Paris Baguette, they have some hybrids of French and Asian and come up with new items a lot. Lady M is another Asian cake place, there is one along side Bryant Park on 40th the have this item Green Tea Crêpes Cake, a delicious thing

Paris Baguette is an Korean bread chain, much like going to a Chinese bakery or Japanese bakery (like Zaiya). It's totally different concepts.

Maison Kayser and Bouchon are French bakeries.

LPQ and Au Bon Pain and American bread shops with French sounding names.

I know what they all are. I said in my previous post Paris Baguette does hybrids of French and Asian pasty, fusion. Some items are entirely European others mixed. For instance the other day I had a piece of chocolate ganache cake there with a macaroon garnish , nothing Asian about it. The point of this thread is pasty stores closing not these technicalities

Excerpt: Another French Bakery Chain In Trouble - Paris Baguette Sued By Landlords For Back Rent

Response:
Landlords need to pay their bills too. Their is a sad reality that Covid exposes.
Only the strongest of businesses will survive. Lessen your risk of failure
by owning the building your business operates out of. You will have a better
chance of survival.

They're not the only business establishment getting sued for non payment of rent.

Bloomingdale’s Facing Lawsuit Over 72nd Street Outlet. I didn't even know there was an outlet.
