February 22, 2008 -- Here's yet another sad verse in the ballad of
John and Yoko.
Cafe La Fortuna, the Upper West Side coffee shop that was a favorite
of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, as well as scores of other celebrities
and New Yorkers, is closing it doors for good this weekend - the
victim of rising rents, its owner said yesterday.
"We're heartbroken," said Mike Trapani.
The last supper will be served Sunday night.
While the walls of the West 71st Street eatery are festooned with
signed photos of top celebs, from Luciano Pavarotti to Bill Clinton,,
the greatest amount of space is dedicated to John and Yoko. A shrine
to the pair is placed in the front window.
Since Lennon's tragic slaying in front of the nearby Dakota in 1980,
Ono still came in from time to time.
