at 188 Grand Street has been sued by its landlord for allegedly owing the back rent over the past few years.The suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court by the landlord Jerome G. Stabile III Realty asks for “permission to evict you from the subject premise if you do not pay the money judgment.”
At a court hearing Friday, she and her lawyer, Domenick Napoletano, proposed a gouda plan — offering to immediately put up $250,000 and pay off the remaining debt over the duration of the lease. King added, “I poured my life savings into Alleva. I’m not walking away from it. We bought Alleva to save it.”
During her tenure, King said she updated Alleva’s website and expanded take-out and catering service to try to compensate for the loss of foot traffic.Before COVID, King planned to expand the premises and open a café at the corner of Grand and Mulberry streets. She also built a new kitchen and hired a chef to offer more meals and was working on a branding and distribution plan when the health crisis ground the Big Apple to a halt.
