This morning Grub Street discovers some empire-building plans for Franck LeClerc and Café Claude. The Claude Lane mainstay has staked a claim on the Abigail’s Pastry & Fine Foods space at 2120 Greenwich Street (at Fillmore), bringing LeClerc’s empire to three restaurants (he also owns Gitane) and a still-to-come grocery/café called Claudine (401 Bush Street).
