Crime is down on Pittsburgh's South Side, but the number of vacant storefronts is increasing
While crime is down, business leaders say Pittsburgh's South Side is struggling to make a comeback While crime is down, business leaders say Pittsburgh's South Side is struggling to make a comeback While crime is down, business leaders say Pittsburgh's South Side is struggling to make a comeback The South Side business district has struggled in recent years as the scene of late-night fights and sporadic shootings. Business leaders say crime is down, but the number of vacant storefronts on East Carson Street is growing. The closing of Nakama, a once hot-ticket sushi restaurant, has raised alarms about the state of the South Side business district and the mounting number of empty storefronts along East Carson Street. Bar owner Rich Cupka knows the reason behind the exodus. "These business owners have been here for years — decades. They didn't just forget how to run a business. It's because of the crime and the violence and the lawlessness," said Cupka. Cupka has compiled a list of some 29 bars and restaurants that have closed in recent years because of what he sees as an ineffective response to crime and violence. He says the nighttime incidents of fights and sporadic gunplay have led to the closure of daytime businesses as well. "All these things have led to where we're at with 35% vacancies, shops closing, and what's worse is there's nobody buying the closed shops, so it's like a downward spiral," Cupka said. "Even more so than the crime itself, the perception of crime has major detrimental impacts on the economy," said Councilman Bob Charland. Shootings and fights hit new highs on the South Side two years ago and police responded with barricades and saturation patrols. Charland says the public needs to know the district has become safer and more welcoming. He says there are far fewer incidents and the dedicated police patrol on Thursday to Sunday night is far less militaristic. "East Carson Street is safe. We patrol it effectively," Charland said. And while Charland and the South Side business associations put the vacancies at 20%, they concede that number is still far too high. To that end, they say some 14 new leases have been signed by businesses looking to open in the next few months. Owners hope this is the start of a new trend to make South Side a nighttime and daytime destination again. "Continues to move in the right direction, is able to attract interest from business owners from across the city, be wildly competitive with any other district in the city," said John DeMauro of The Urban Tap. The closing of Nakama could represent a bottom, but the hope is that South Side will bounce back with new businesses and a new public image to help turn this neighborhood around.

Nakama Japanese Steakhouse closes doors after 20 years on South Side
South Side restaurant Nakama Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi has quietly closed its doors. The hibachi-teppanyaki restaurant has ceased offering its dining services, stopped taking reservations online for further meals, and its phone is no longer operational. Representatives for Nakama did not respond to multiple attempts to contact the business to give a reason for the quiet closing. A longstanding South Side sensation, Nakama blended entertainment and eating, receiving widespread acclaim from local news outlets and food critics. The restaurant offered a sushi bar, standard bar and hibachi tables where chefs would cook directly in front of guests. Nakama first opened in 2003, one of the earliest tableside Japanese steakhouses to open in the area before the trend would expand rapidly over the next decade. The restaurant also operated a location in Wexford, which closed last summer, as well as a food truck. It's unclear if the food truck is still in operation.

Nakama's South Side location appears to have shut down
A popular Japanese steakhouse and sushi bar in Pittsburgh may be shut down for good. Nakama Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar on East Carson Street in Pittsburgh's South Side appears to be closing its doors. According to a report from the Trib, an employee arrived for work earlier this week and was told by their manager that the place was shutting down. Back in September, Nakama was flagged by the Allegheny County Health Department for pest management violations, including inspectors finding four dead mice, one of them found in the grill in the dining room. There were other violations found by the health department, including poor employee hygiene practices, improper cleaning and sanitation, and malfunctioning facilities to maintain temperature. While there has been no confirmation by Nakama of the closure, if it does indeed shut down, it would be the second closure in the last year, with their Wexford location having shut down last summer.
