BISCUIT SCOOP: THE REAL STORY
Night and Day has this note on their website.
We are delighted to discover that our new chef, Josh Cohen, owned the late lamented, much praised Biscuit BBQ on Flatbush. Barbecue is much needed in Park Slope, which as we discovered to our cost, another French, Italian, or American bistro, however beautiful, is not.
Josh was featured on the Al Roker show, named best Barbecue buy the New York Times, lavishly praised by Time Out.
Accordingly, we have decided to adopt Josh, his menu, and the name of his restaurant. This requires retooling the kitchen and making some adjustments to signage, menu and so on. Our beautiful back room remains the NIGHT AND DAY ROOM and is available for quieter dining, parties, and some of the less raucous presentations. We aim to reopen the week of October 30.
So there you have it. A note from Night and Day, written I would guess, by the very literary owner, Robin Hirsch, a former Fullbright scholar and author of The Kempinki, a book of poetry written with his kids called, "F.E.G. Stupid Poems for Intelligent Children."
Anyone who has spent time at his West Village restaurant, the legendary Cornelia Street Cafe, knows that Robin can write. I, for one, am happy he came out with this nformation before more rumors and misinformation spread.

oh yeah? let's make it known that robin hirsch and company have hired a detective to follow the trail of one josh cohen, and his ugly wife, blair (or, as he pronounces it, BLEEYHA).
cohen's presumed actions have been reported to the park slope precinct.
they have also been reported to the brooklyn 94th, by the woman whose restaurant he took over by conniving and thievery.
josh cohen is a serial failure in his endeavours. he hops from one restaurant to the next, stealing everything in his vole-like site.
his food sucks, too. that is the crux of the issue ... he is not able to support himself, nor is he able to achieve success, without money from his mother, and from his uncle.
he goes from one job to the next, with intermittment stays in expensive rehabs, paid for by his mother and his uncle.
the only thing he knows to do is to steal. he is a serial conman.
you will see him in jail before you will see him as successful restauranteer.
