Manzke Restaurant

I keep telling everyone a bigger wave is coming. Things are going to look radically different in this city in '25.

Are other big cities seeing a wave of restaurant closures as pronounced as LA?

Seems to me that the prices at Republique are about the same as those at Bicyclette. In same cases (e.g., baguette with butter), they are exactly the same.

TIL, certainly makes sense! I suppose the heights of the cellar in Republique support what Manzke needed.

From a rando on Reddit, so view it through that lens:

“Bicyclette and Manzke shuttered because the Manzkes were unhappy with the percentages they were getting from Sprout LA, and rightfully so”

Bicyclette seemed pretty busy most of the time I thought the closing odd at the time. That’s as good an explanation as any.
