菲尼克斯华人老店新园中餐馆经营84年后歇业
亚利桑那州马里科帕县菲尼克斯市——菲尼克斯一家经营了84年的华人餐馆新园中餐馆（New Garden Chinese）已于10月底关门，成为当地10月歇业餐馆中最令人惋惜的一家。
据《亚利桑那共和报》11月3日报道，这家位于中央大道与哈德利街（Central Avenue and Hadley Street）的家庭餐馆，是当地最后一家杂碎馆，因店主健康原因和多年经营带来的身体负担而决定歇业。10月，菲尼克斯、斯科茨代尔、梅萨和格伦代尔等地多家经营多年的家庭餐馆相继关门，菜系涵盖中餐、意大利餐、日餐、美餐与东欧餐，不少曾是几代人的记忆。
新园中餐馆的房产经纪人 Mike Snitz 表示，正设法为餐馆寻找新主人，希望把这一传统延续下去。84年老店落幕，也折射出家庭小餐馆在人力、成本与经营者老龄化面前的共同压力。
Phoenix Chinese Landmark New Garden Closes After 84 Years
Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona — New Garden Chinese, a family-owned Chinese restaurant that served Phoenix for 84 years, closed at the end of October, the most lamented entry on the city's October restaurant-closings list.
The Arizona Republic reported on November 3 that the restaurant, at Central Avenue and Hadley Street, was the last chop suey house in town and closed because of the owners' health issues and the physical toll of running it into old age. October also saw longtime family restaurants close across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa and Glendale, spanning Chinese, Italian, Japanese, American and Eastern European cuisines.
Realty agent Mike Snitz said he is looking for new owners to keep the tradition alive. The end of an 84-year run reflects the shared pressures on family restaurants: staffing, costs and aging owners.
