The following is a U.K. Daily Mail article which I think is supposed to be snarky (I think) and features the restaurants sign being oddly painted over from street level.
The New York restaurant scene lost a giant over the weekend with the closing of Guy's American Kitchen in Times Square.
It was a very sudden shuttering for the hugely profitable eatery, which in 2013 did $16 million in sales and was one of the top independently-owned restaurants in the city.

The only other zero-star review I remember in the Times was for Mama Leone's, not too long before they finally exited the scene. (They had been a very decent place, then went downhill for many years. The last time I ate there is was a pitiful shell of what it had once been.)
