Calls to Nuevo Kappy's yields the standard "this line disconnected" announcement. Anyone been by there recently?

Post #2 - October 3rd, 2006, 7:40 amHi,
I have had this happen to me already. I even punched in the number of the awning and got the same message. I contacted Antonius and Amata who then visited them and they were open. It appears they changed their phone number.
Please note this happened within the last 60-90 days, anything could have happened meanwhile.
Regards,Cathy2

This came up last summer, I believe... Someone, maybe Cathy2, had called and gotten that non-response and queried here about NK... I drove by a couple of days later and saw they were open with customers.
Maybe they've just given up phones, maybe they're closed: only way to know for sure is to go there.

Post #5 - October 4th, 2006, 12:37 pmI have sad news to report: Kappy's is definitely closed. I went by there earlier today -- gates locked, a For Sale sign on the building, windows covered over with ads for the K department store diagonally across the street.
I really wish they could have succeeded with the delicious and not-so-usual items they offered.
Amata
p.s. I went instead to La Casa de Samuel and had a huarache de carne asada. They were doing a good lunch business, I'm relieved to say.

Post #6 - October 4th, 2006, 12:42 pmThanks for the recon drive-by Amata -- Kappy's was one of the many places I had been to only once but intended to visit again. Oh well.

Post #7 - October 4th, 2006, 12:55 pmIt's a sad day when there's one fewer GNR winner around.
I have updated the title of the GNR thread with a "CLOSED" indicator, just like the other two members of the GNR graveyard, Matsumoto and Cafe Salamera.
Best,
Michael

Post #10 - October 4th, 2006, 3:48 pmWell, the one thing I guess we can say is that in each case, the award was going to a place that really deserved it and could have benefited from our help, such as it is.
Speaking of which, did we ever decide if Steve's is still going?Watch Sky Full of Bacon, the Chicago food HD podcast!

Post #11 - October 4th, 2006, 8:12 pmMan! I was planning to visit Nuevo Kappy's a week or so ago (bringing some welcome relief to a friend in CCH) but decided on the more conservative La Quebrada Which was very good.
Then last week I was headed over to La Milanese and discovered it was closed too so I ended up at Gio's where I got some nice Chicken Vesuvio sandwich (w/ Peas?).
I better get going!

Boy, that shows how we've grown when La Quebrada is considered good but conservative!
PS
The wife and I had an excellent lunch at the Cicero branch the other day. Chiliquiles en salsa verde, cecina, for her; two tacos de cecina (beans, guacamole and pico de gallo), one gordita de barbacoa for me. I still believe there is no place that handles masa, outside of Maxwell Street, than this place.Think Yiddish, Dress British - Advice of Evil Ronnie to me.
