Whisk Bakery Cafe did not open this morning, and there's still no news on where Josh Rubin, the shop's owner, is.
Now trouble with money and bipolar disorder are coming to the front, as the Brooklyn Paper explains:
In addition to the mental disorder, Rubin was also traumatized by falling behind on the rent on his two-month-old establishment.
An employee at Whisky [sic] confirmed that Rubin had been trying to sell the café in recent days.
Had anyone heard about that? Any time I've been in there, it hasn't been incredibly busy, but it's not empty either.
