 For legions of hungry New Yorkers, the name Gloria conjures images of steaming goat curry, jerk chicken, doubles, and callaloo .  Located on Nostrand Avenue and Sterling Place in Crown Heights, Gloria’s Caribbean Cuisine has served up authentic Trinidadian dishes from a colorful corner shop for nearly two decades. The family-run restaurant was immortalized in the finale of  No Reservations , as Anthony Bourdain found himself in an  impromptu reunion of  The Wire  while feasting on oxtail. Then last week, Gloria’s went dark. Overnight, the bright green facade and its fading palm tree signage vanished, exposing bare plywood underneath. The news prompted a rush of mourning online — “this one hurts,”  read one representative tweet  — and on the street beyond the shuttered gate. “I loved the fish and the cabbage there,” said Marie D, a 68-year-old Crown Heights resident from Haiti. “The Caribbean people, we ate a lot from them.
