Y'know those restaurants you pass everyday that don't do any business? The ones that make you say, "that's gotta be a front for something"? Well, according to the New York Times it may turn out to be the case for Rice to Riches, a trendy-ish rice pudding store just north of Little Italy that's allegedly been used to launder money for the owner's illegal gambling ring. It's two blocks from my sister's place, and I'd wondered how it stayed open, though, sadly, I never wondered if it was a front for anything.
