Fans of Café Gray’s spiced venison loin and skate schnitzel may want to make a reservation promptly at that Time Warner Center restaurant. Amid a shaky economic climate, Gray Kunz’s upscale café, popular with Manhattan’s social set, will close its doors for good at the end of June after a three-and-a-half-year run, according to restaurant staffers. When the eatery opened in October 2004, it earned mostly positive reviews for the food — and mostly negative ones for its open kitchen, which gave cooks glorious views of Columbus Circle and Central Park, but largely denied them to its patrons. A spokeswoman for the restaurant did not return calls, but receptionists, who did not give their names, at Café Gray and at Mr. Kunz’s 7-month-old Midtown eatery, lounge, and event space, Grayz, confirmed the Time Warner Center eatery’s June 30 closing date — and that there are no plans to reopen.

A second location of the Italian restaurant A Voce, situated near Madison Square Park, has been mentioned on the Grub Street Web log as a possible successor to the space. Chef Andrew Carmellini, the Café Boulud alumnus behind A Voce, said rumblings of a Time Warner Center opening “are all rumors at this point,” though the restaurant’s publicist said that A Voce partners are indeed looking to open another Manhattan eatery. Mr. Carmellini added: “I’m looking into all sorts of fun stuff.”
