cityscape The Real Jerk Getting Evicted from Queen and Broadview

But curried goat hopefully not lost forever.

Sad news for many in the east end today: longtime hangout The Real Jerk has to close up shop soon. The building’s been sold, reports Global, and the new owners have asked The Real Jerk to vacate by the end of the month. Real Jerk proprieters are hoping to reopen elsewhere in Leslieville, and are on the hunt for a new location. “It has been our distinct pleasure to be part of the Riverside neighbourhood and business community. We are committed to building our restaurant again and hope you will visit us as soon as we open our new doors. Our catering business will continue in the meantime with our regular phone number,” wrote Edward Pottinger on the resto’s Facebook page.
