Midtown: Redeye Grill, the two-story American brasserie and A-list magnet facing Carnegie Hall since 1995, will close on Sunday, July 12. The popular pre-theater pitstop for seafood towers, sushi, skirt steak frites, and chocolate cake is perhaps best known for its Dancing Shrimp dish: colossal coconut-battered prawns that jiggle on sticks that are shoved in an oak ball along with cubed pineapples. The 30-year-old restaurant is also iconic for its 88-foot colorful mural from pop artist Red Grooms — just one of many impressive art pieces amassed by Fireman Hospitality Group’s founder Shelly Fireman, who died last fall at age 93. Redeye’s lease was reportedly up, and the team was unable to come to terms on a new deal, per the New York Post. CEO Ben Grossman’s family-owned group maintains 11 restaurants, such as Lincoln Center-adjacent Cafe Fiorello. Some of the last celebrities to dine at Redeye include Steven Spielberg, Bryan Cranston, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and Ethan Hawke, all there in May for Broadway’s Celebrity Autobiography afterparty. 890 Seventh Avenue, near West 56th Street
And the rest…
Boerum Hill: Public Display of Affection (PDA), a Brooklyn pizzeria featuring Midwestern flavors, a wine club, weekend burrito brunch, and Jell-O shots, closed on Monday, July 6, after a six-year run in what its brother-sister duo (Rob and Emi Guimond) call a “reluctant exit.” PDA leaned into its name with vintage erotica images and custom love notes inside its “NSFWZZA” boxes for Valentine’s Day. The pair previously announced their plan to close back in April. 669 Union Street, near Fourth Avenue
East Village: Stoned Pizza, a cannabis-infused, all-you-can-eat-and-drink tasting room that debuted during the early days of the pandemic in fall 2020, shut down around the end of June. The five-course, THC-tinged Italian menu included a salad, “ganja” knots, pizza, wings, and gelato, which at some point cost $120. Owner Chris Barrett — who earned the nickname “Pizza Pusha” over the years — cited rats, electrical problems, and overall “building issues” as causes for the closure, per an interview withEV Grieve, adding that Stoned Pizza and its staff will relocate to a new setup in Astoria that has “three floors, a backyard with a retractable roof and more parking.” 235 E. Fourth Street, near Avenue B
Soho: Regina’s Grocery, the hip Italian sandwich shop loaded with meats that first debuted on Orchard Street in 2017, left its Mulberry Street address because the rent was allegedly tripling. “That’s a little too spicy, even for us,” adds its eye-roll statement on Instagram this week. “So we packed up and headed to the East Village while we keep our eyes open for the right spot back in SoHo.” Owner Roman Grandinetti, who named the takeout after his mother, Regina, added weekend-only breakfast for the first time at the latest East Village locale, which debuted in May. The Uncle Jimmy hero (prosciutto, hot soppressata, fresh mozzarella, and Calabrian chile) continues to be an overall fan fave. 241 Mulberry Street, near Prince Street
Union Square: Married duo and owners of Park Slope’s Noodle Lane, Lane Li and Chris Wang, closed Rulin on Monday, July 6, after a six-month run. In addition to serving hand-pulled noodles, the short-lived spot offered creative takes on Lanzhou, Cantonese, and Sichuan dishes. The couple just flipped the same space, however, into a newly openedMexican Chinese mashup called Taco Lane. 5 E. 13th Street between University Place and Fifth Avenue
Upper East Side: Shwkulatae, a decadent dessert shop whose name means “chocolate” in Arabic, closed after a little over a year. Short-lived Shwkulatae specialized in the finer things in life from Dubai, including loaded shakes, croffles, brownies with fresh fruit, pistachio cheesecake, and tableside crepes, complete with dramatic chocolate drizzles that brought Salt Bae to mind. 415 E. 70th Street, between First and York avenues
Upper West Side: Francesco’s Pizza, a NY slice shop that got its start at the dawn of Y2K, appears to have shut down in early July. Open since 1999, the quick-serve neighborhood option was known for its baked ziti, olive oil-crust pizza, and Buffalo wings. West Side Rag first flagged the pizza place’s unlikely future with a photo of its gutted interior. 186 Columbus Avenue, between West 68th and 69th streets

Flatiron: Chef Wylie Dufresne, an alum of wd~50 and Du’s Donuts, closed his original Stretch Pizza on Thursday, July 2, after a three-year run. However, he’s keeping the follow-up one in Williamsburg open. The plan is to “focus our energies” on that newer location across the river in Domino Park, “where we will have some exciting developments to share in the coming months,” per Dufresne’s statement. The suddenly announced closure in Flatiron, however, sparked some social media backlash in the comments section about whether affected employees there got a proper heads-up. Open since 2023, Stretch Pizza introduced Manhattan to pies in offbeat flavors like dan dan chicken. 331 Park Avenue South, near East 24th Street
And the rest…
Crown Heights: After owner and chef Jeremy Salamon closed his just-a-year-old Red Hook restaurant Pitt’s in March, he’s shuttering his other spot this month. Five-year-old Eastern European-influenced Agi’s Counter is closing on Sunday, July 5, with a final lunch service (it served its last evening hours already on Sunday, June 14). He explains in a video that he decided to close because of basement flooding in the building. Salamon stresses that this is “not goodbye” but “see you later.” 818 Franklin Avenue, near Eastern Parkway
East Village: Minimalist hand roll bar Temakase closed its East Village locale on Monday, June 29, but Manhattan will soon get another one this September in Soho. The Japanese mini-chain also maintains locations in Nomad and Williamsburg. 157 Second Avenue, near East 10th Street
Long Island City: Levante, a once-hot Neapolitan pizza place that amassed a strong neighborhood following over its decade-long run, closed on Friday, June 19, by the Stella Hospitality Group. 26-21 Jackson Avenue, near 43rd Avenue
Nomad: Chef Masaya Shirai’s kaiseki omakase and a la carte restaurant Towa closes on Friday, July 3. The Hand Hospitality team opened the restaurant in 2022. 36 W. 26th Street, near Sixth Avenue
Nomad: Right next door, Hand Hospitality is also closing Okonomi Yuji Ramen prior to the Fourth of July on Friday, July 3. The ramen shop that got its start at Smorgasborg will keep its Brooklyn location open. 36 W. 26th Street, near Sixth Avenue
