Zuma by Chef Ninja has been closed during business hours for a couple of weeks, but has posted no explanation for the closure on its premises, website or social media accounts. In fact, its Instagram account has continued on autopilot, inviting customers to party at the lounge as recently as last night. However, property owner Greenhill Companies posted a sign on the front of the restaurant declaring it sealed late this past week, and warning that the police will be called if anyone tries to enter the premises without authorization. This action is typical when a tenant has failed to pay rent, or to comply with other requirements under their lease agreement.

The closure sign was visible Friday night. But 24 hours later, someone had ripped it down. The lights in the darkened restaurant were turned on last night, but it was still closed, and no one appeared to be inside.

From the sign: people entering without authorization "will be referred to law enforcement."
ReplyDeleteThe intent and meaning are clear, but the sensitive tone and passive voice here are just ridiculous.
I saw about half a dozen people entering Zuma around 9 PM on Saturday night Jan 27. Later on, I could see that all the flashing color light display inside had been turned on.

ReplyDeleteThere was a lot of police activity in front of Zuma on Thursday evening February 1. The lights were on in the restaurant. Probably half a dozen police cars. Many officers milling around. What’s going on?
