Thai food lovers will be surprised to hear that Siam on Broadway might be closing. Voracious "eavesdropped" this bit of information while chowing down on a bowl of tom kah gai soup (which I consider the best in the city):
Lynda, Siam on Broadway's owner, was offered what I would call an "eff you lease," after her current lease was to expire. If she wanted to stay in the space, she would agree to a month to month lease with the owners of the building only having to give ten days notice for the restaurant to vacate the premises should they want to sell the building or terminate the lease. You just can't operate a restaurant under those conditions.
Voracious sums it up nicely with a one-liner: Doesn't take a genius to smell condos in the breeze."

That's well known that money can make us free. But how to act when somebody does not have cash? The only one way is to receive the loans and just consolidation loan.
