Mochinut is looking closed

Photos by Steven 

Several readers have noted that the Mochinut outpost at 124 Second Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place is looking like a permanent shutter.

The space has been cleared out... which corresponded with a hand-delivered legal notice on the front door...
There isn't any mention of a temporary or permanent closure on the brand's website or social media properties. (We sent them a message via their Instagram account.)

The shop was closed for nearly two months this past spring with a DOH notice stating "operating without a permit."

The quickly expanding California-born chain known for its mochi doughnuts and Korean-style hot dogs opened here in August 2021

Horrible to see how quickly the fad restaurants like this & the Korean hot dog joints popped up then went under. Hopefully something with more staying power comes soon

Good. They were horrible neighbors. Usually ignored the trash and food scraps their customers left outside the shop. I really miss the great food and good vibes of The Dumpling Shop.
