Auction results for Café des Artistes expected today

The fate of famed restaurant Café des Artistes could be decided today, through auction. The Upper West Side mainstay at One West 67th Street at the corner of Central Park West closed in late August after the owners’ temporary closure turned permanent. Speculation has abounded over who would invest in the spot, but this week’s auction — which includes all furnishings and the six years remaining on the eatery’s lease — has yielded no winners. One offer of $140,000 for the whole kit and caboodle was denied, the New York Times reported. If a winning bidder doesn’t emerge by the auction’s end today at 4 p.m., the space will be returned to the building’s co-op board.
