Hundreds crowd 69 Bayard for a last meal before the dollar-bill restaurant closes
The restaurant at 69 Bayard, known for dollar bills covering its walls, late hours and more than a dozen dishes under $7, announced it would close when its lease ended at the end of February 2016. On the Thursday before, hundreds of people lined up for pepper steak, dumplings and fried chicken wings, and some had to leave before ordering. A manager told WNYC the restaurant had been on the site for 80 years, while a customer remembered when only a few dollars were taped to the wall.
