FILE - This April 1993 file photo Elaine Kaufman poses for a portrait at her restaurant, Elaine’s, on New York's Upper East Side neighborhood. For regulars still mourning the death of Kaufman in December, the news that her storied namesake restaurant in Manhattan will close, Thursday, May 26, 2011, is a double blow. Longtime manager Diane Becker inherited the restaurant, but she says the place just can't survive without Kaufman. Becker says: "The truth is, there is no Elaine's without Elaine." (AP Photo/File)
