When Bostonist met a friend for lunch last week in Coolidge Corner, we automatically began walking to our favorite place, Zathmary’s. When we got there, however, we found locked doors and two bewildered little old ladies standing outside. “They’re closed for good!” one of the ladies said, and it was one of those moments that Bostonist thought only happened in movies where everyone gasps in unison. We glanced in the windows and sure enough, all the lights were off and there were bags of packed-up supplies. One of the ladies, who dubbed herself the town crier, informed us that the Needham Zathmary’s had closed a few days before and now this one had followed suit. The crier had heard rumblings of an illness in the owner’s family. Bostonist pulled our dropped jaws from the sidewalk and reluctantly headed a few doors over to Zaftigs.
