Midtown: After 23 years and endless shrimp served later, Red Lobster will shut down its busy Times Square location on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 14. Located atop one of New York’s main subway hubs, extensive construction of the seafood stop’s building has “significantly impacted restaurant access, visibility, and foot traffic, making continued operations at the location economically unsustainable,” per a statement to Eater from Red Lobster’s corporate team. Its conversion into a massive residential tower “does not provide a viable long-term runway for a high-volume restaurant at this location,” adds the rep. Team members can transfer to a Red Lobster of their choice; other NY locations remain in the Bronx and Brooklyn. 582 Seventh Avenue, between West 41st and 42nd streets
And the rest…
Cobble Hill: After five years in downtown Brooklyn, seasonal outdoor beer garden the Yard served the last plate of its popular nachos on Sunday, June 7. Closing weekend festivities included a big game 2 watch party for the Knicks. “It’s been an unforgettable ride,” per a closing statement. 273 Pacific Street, at Smith Street
Park Slope: Rustic Italian restaurant and wine cellar Convivium Osteria appears to have shut down without notice, a tipster tells Eater in an email, noting it’s been dark for a couple of weeks. Its website and Resy page are also inactive. Hidden behind a charming antiques-filled storefront, the romantic restaurant that resembled a farmhouse debuted in 2000 — long before Barclays Center opened next door. 68 Fifth Avenue, at St. Marks Place
Tribeca: It’s the last chance to get a house-made pastry from Duane Park Patisserie, the charming neighborhood standby that will close on Sunday, June 14, after 34 years. Decorated pastry chef Madeline Lanciani, who opened Duane Park right around the same time as John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy moved into a loft nearby, gained a decades-long neighborhood following for its freshly brewed coffee, custom cakes, petit fours, cupcakes, sprinkle cookies, and savory tarts. Its last wave of customers is invited to jot down memories in a journal above its stove upon entry. 179 Duane Street, at Greenwich Street

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
