Mori (1883 or 1884 - 1937 or 1938) was a Greenwich Village eating establishment that featured Italian cooking. It became bankrupt during the aftermath of the Great Depression. Its building later housed the Bleecker Street Cinema. ==History== The building at 144-146 Bleecker Street in New York City's Greenwich Village was originally built in 1832 as two rowhouses.〔 Placido Mori〔 converted 144 into the restaurant Mori in 1883 or 1884. As architecture historian Christopher Gray wrote, The restaurant began as a small bar and eatery and expanded to fully occupy a "rambling, old-fashioned" five-story〔''Harlem Building Gets New Owner'', New York Times, October 12, 1943, pg. 40.〕 building near Sixth Avenue (Manhattan).〔 It survived the Prohibition era and the worst years of the Great Depression, when it was temporarily padlocked. Mori closed in 1937,〔 and Placido Mori filed a petition for bankruptcy in early January 1938, stating that the corporation had no assets and liabilities totaling $70,000. The building formerly occupied by Mori was sold by Caroline Bussing through A.Q. Orza, broker, in October 1943.〔 Mori's gravesite in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx is marked with a sculpted memorial designed by Hood and sculptor Charles Keck. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mori (restaurant)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
