An EVG tipster shared these photos from this morning... showing workers cleaning out Momofuku's Ssäm Bar space on Second Avenue at 13th Street...
As Eater reported last month, David Chang's restaurant is closing for a brief renovation — "an update that will include a switch to all chairs with backs, a move away from the Momofuku empire’s design signature." And! "Ssäm Bar’s renovation is being done in conjunction with the restaurant’s 10-year anniversary." They closed after lunch service yesterday.
And as part of all this, the adjacent cocktail bar Booker & Dax closed on Saturday night. The bar owners plan on relocating to a new, standalone space.

Big news
if you are one of those celebrity slurping "foodies"
ssam bar has always been really delicious--and if you know how to play it, a good value for the quality. hope they don't change it too much.
Chairs with backs -- imagine that!
The food is not bad... Just hate the tourists who flock there... Especially Momofuku noodle bar. What is polite way to ask them to clear the sidewalk? They cluster around the sidewalk like slow pigeons waiting to be fed. Just starting to shove them out of the way
Stop going to his restaurants when food tourism made it impossible to get seated, Speaking of seats, I always considered Chan a bit of an sadist when I sat on those harder than stone seats.
Honestly, this place is overrated and overpriced. Perhaps they will renovate their menu and approach to customer service.
