The restaurant with two Michelin stars made the announcement yesterday and was covered by Eater and Grub Street.
Ko got its start on First Avenue in 2008... and relocated to Extra Place, the pedestrian walkway off of First Street between the Bowery and Second Avenue, in November 2014 (they increased their EP footprint in 2017.)
Ko aside, Extra Place hasn't been too kind to restaurants. However, a spokesperson told Eater that the company will keep the Extra Place outpost: "We are pausing Ko as it currently operates and we hope to have something in the new year in this space."
Meanwhile, Momofuku Ssäm Bar, which moved from the East Village to the Seaport in 2020, closed last month.
Per Eater:
The closure is part of Momofuku's restructuring since Marguerite Zabar Mariscal became CEO of the company in 2019; it includes shifts in its restaurant concepts and upcoming locations, along with an expansion of its pantry products in stores like Whole Foods and Target.

Speaking of Michelin, three more EV restaurants have recently been added to their Guide: Monsieur Vo, Little Myanmar, Superiority Burger. No stars, but still great places to eat.
