All the NYC Restaurants That Have Closed Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic

Update, Monday, March 16, 9:13 a.m.: Eater is no longer updating this list, as Mayor Bill de Blasio has ordered all restaurants and bars to close on Tuesday 9 a.m. to everything but take-out and delivery. For a running list of who’s newly added delivery, click here.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, restaurants throughout the city have begun to close to curb the spread of the virus, from dim sum stalwarts in Sunset Park to the entirety of Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group. It’s likely just the beginning for restaurant closures as the number of positive COVID-19 cases rises and more people opt to limit time in public spaces.

Bigger restaurants are the first to see falling sales, as even healthy people are being asked to avoid large gatherings where the virus can spread more quickly. As of Friday morning, New York City had 95 confirmed cases, and Mayor Bill de Blasio has said that it could be up to 1,000 by next week. The health crisis could “easily” last six months, according to the mayor, while the economic recovery period could take much longer. “We don’t do any of this lightly,” he said of cutting restaurant seating capacities in half. “This is difficult stuff. This will have a serious, serious impact on a number of business.”

Earlier in the week, four major Sunset Park dim sum restaurants — including favorites like East Harbor Seafood Palace and Bamboo Garden — decided to close, also with plans to reopen when the dust settles. On Thursday, Chinatown’s huge dim sum institution Jing Fong, Midtown’s fine dining seafood restaurant Oceana, and inventive Nordic tasting menu Aska all said they would temporarily close. On Friday, Eric Ripert announced that his luxe seafood tasting restaurant Le Bernardin would also shut down for at least two weeks.

The nearly 50-year-old Jing Fong, which seats 800, was forced to shutter after the state announced that all venues with seats for more than 500 people have to close. “For everyone’s health and safety, we will close until Cuomo says it’s OK to gather again,” the restaurant tweeted in a response to a report that suggested its closure is permanent.

Oceana will also close temporarily after service on Friday, March 13, with plans to reopen on April 1. The shut down of Midtown offices, as well as major tourist destinations like Broadway and Radio City Music Hall, led to a 75 to 80 percent plummet in sales — and a total disappearance of private dining in March, according to a spokesperson. The Livanos family, owners of the more than 20-year-old restaurant, said in a statement that in light of all the closures in the city, “we feel it’s best to follow their lead.”
