West Village: After a valiant 46 years of business (making it the oldest bistro in the neighborhood), the once-resilient romantic mainstay La Ripaille called it quits on Saturday, May 30. The old-school French hangout’s hands-on, produce-picking owner Alain Laurent, “who has tirelessly been at the helm” at its original brick-framed location since the start, is retiring, he said in an email to Eater. La Ripaille, which means “to feast,” counted celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Derek Jeter, and Anne Hathaway as customers, who documented compliments in a well-worn book upon exiting the cozy spot. Fans feasted on the likes of salmon tartare, cassoulet, escargot, and steak au poivre frites. 605 Hudson Street, near West 12th Street
And the rest…
East Village: A high-profile St. Marks Place space is vacant once again with the loss of Marylou, a French cafe, brunch spot, and speakeasy that shut down for reasons unknown on Sunday, May 31, after four years. The impending closure was announced in early May via an Instagram post flagged by EVGrieve. With nods to French actress Brigitte Bardot, a pretty patio, and live music from up-and-coming solo acts, the now-vacant real estate is best known for being home to the iconic Cafe Orlin, which closed in 2017 after a 36-yearrun; replacement cocktail bar Paper Daisy fell fast when the pandemic hit. 41 St. Mark’s Place, near Second Avenue
Upper West Side: Celebrity chef-led Ban Ban Shop suddenly shut down on Friday, May 29, per an Instagram announcement made three days prior, which cited “mixed emotions” (though the cause for the closure remains unclear). Around since 2023, the Southeast Asian fast-casual framed in bright blue kept nearby Columbia University students going on customizable banh mi, bao, grain bowls, salads, and maki rolls. Chicken noodle soup, kimchee slaw, and Vietnamese iced coffee were also draws here, notes I Love the Upper West Side. Chef Nils Noren rose to fame on his native home turf of Sweden, where he earned a Michelin star for KB, and went on to work at Big Apple kitchens like Red Rooster prior to Ban Ban Shop. 2911 Broadway, between West 113th and 114th streets
