It's been a bad month for neighborhood landmarks?especially booze-dispensing ones?and it looks like Red Hook's beloved spirits store LeNell's may be the latest victim. The store, oft-cited as an example of the neighborhood's newfound vitality, has been involved in a lengthy lease dispute, and now LushLife reports that owner Tonya "LeNell" Smothers has shut it down while eying a move to London. But hold on to your bitters, bourbon fans, because late-breaking word comes that there may be life in the ol' girl yet. [LushLife; Eater]
