Iconic Businesses at Risk of Closing Down

The pandemic has been putting a huge strain on small businesses, even some of the most iconic New York City institutions. Kellogg's Diner in Brooklyn has been a popular neighborhood destination for almost 50 years, but owner Irene Siderakis tells Inside Edition that even while her loyal customers are trying to help keep the restaurant open, they are in danger of closing. Astor Place Hairstylists has cut the hair of celebrities and locals for 73 years, but now it’s closing due to slow business. #InsideEdition
