Brownstoner:After a year in business, a popular Danish restaurant on Smith Streets restaurant row in Boerum Hill has shut up shop. The reason? The owners, Claudi and Lone Kofod, could not get a visa.
A sign in the window of Bornholm at 138 Smith Street (and a similar notice on the restaurants website) reads:
Sorry. As we have been fighting to get our Visa for more than 14 months now and we still havent gotten it we have to leave the United States and go back to Denmark. Leaving the country also means that we have to close Bornholm. We want to thank all our customers for the support you have shown us during this past year. We hope to see you before we close down for good this Sunday at 3 pm after brunch.
A winner of OpenTable Diners Choice Award for 2017, the restaurant served made-from-scratch Danish-style food and baked goods, such as open-faced sandwiches, cod fishcakes, and braised pork belly with onion-apple jam.

But not in Trump's America. In his world it's them vs us.

Now Nancy's Raunchy Diner can set up shop serving to deplorables wearing MAGA hats. Hope those grits are extra cheap since none of the deplorables seem to be able to get a job either in tRump's wonderful economy.
