Spotlight
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 Jeff 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
