Breaking News: Two Boots is closing.

Et tu, Two Boots? As if a child-sized Burberry trench coat at PS 321 didn't seem like enough of a sign of the apocalypse, now comes word that Park Slope's #1 most child-friendly restaurant is closing this Sunday. From an email we received just moments ago:

We're closing November 10th and trying to drum up a last week of crazy business, for both the owners and the people who work there, like me who's been there for 6 years and are now out of work. If you could share this,  it'd be much appreciated.

And from co-owner Andy Wandzilak's Facebook page:

After 24 years, Two Boots Brooklyn is coming to a close; our last day will be November 10.
It's been our very great pleasure to have been a part of your lives, and to have had you in ours.
Piper & Andy Wandzilak, the current operators, will be continuing on in this space as their partner, John Touhey, Two Boots co-founder, retires.
Piper & Andy will be renovating and making big changes over the next two months and are hoping to re-open sometime mid-winter.
They plan on having the same warm welcome and relaxed party atmosphere, with much of our same happy staff and management.
We all thank you for your loyalty and support all these years.
For us, this place has been like a second family and a home away from home, and we know it's been the same for many of you.
We're heartbroken to be saying goodbye, but we hope to see you again for our re-birth!
Most sincerely and gratefully,
Piper & Andy & John

I'm kinda speechless, people. I'm a little verklempt. I know it's silly, but damn, I have lots of memories of this place from the 17 years I've lived here. I'm glad to hear that at least two of the same owners will be re-opening something new in that space, but this really is an end of an era. 

Will you miss Two Boots?
