Diner Opens at Site of Embattled "Falls" Bar



NEW YORK (1010 WINS)  -- The bar that was the last stop for strangled graduate student Imette Saint Guillen has been transformed into a diner.
Saint Guillen was last seen alive at the Falls bar in SoHo in February. She was found dumped in a desolate section of Brooklyn after being raped, strangled and suffocated.

A bouncer at the nightspot, Darryl Littlejohn, has pleaded not guilty to her murder.

The bar was closed in June, and it has now been transformed into a diner.

Hardial Singh, one of the new owners of the spot, says he'll donate the opening day's profits to a scholarship fund named after Saint Guillen.
