Turns out El Beit isn’t the only Bedford Avenue spot that recently bit the dust. After replacing Ella Cafe with Korean gastropub Sujo and then briefly bringing Ella back, the owners of both have decided to call it quits at 177 Bedford. A legal notice dated Oct. 21 indicates they didn’t leave on good terms: Edward Jakubek, their landlord, is trying to evict them and demanding a sum of $121,572.
If you happened to be a Sujo fan, some of the restaurant’s menu items are being served at its sister spot, Brooklyn Seoul.
