Christie's Jamaican Patties Will Remain Open

A landlord dispute threatened the future of the restaurant back in November, but Christie's will remain open after all.

Back in November, it was feared that after 45 years in business because of a landlord dispute – but now, Here’s Park Slope reports that the restaurant has worked out a deal, and will remain open after all.

"We're still not out of the woods, but we're open and will be open for the foreseeable future," owner Paul Hayes told Here’s Park Slope. "[The landlord] decided to drop the lawsuit in exchange for $20,000 upfront, a new rent we worked out, plus $1,300 per month."

Back in November, landlord Lina Feng charged that the restaurant was two months behind on rent, and speculation arose that she wanted the shop closed to make room for a higher-paying tenant once the nearby Barclays Center arena opened.
