The Chippery has not been open lately

Several EVG readers have noted with some concern that The Chippery has not been open during its usual business hours in recent weeks at 85 First Ave. between Fifth Street and Sixth Street.

Google notes that they are "permanently closed," though there isn't any mention of a shutter on the restaurant's website or social media properties. We contacted them for comment and were told someone would get back to us.

Coming-soon notices arrived here in January 2020 ... making this the first Manhattan outpost for the New Jersey-based chainlet, which currently has four locations in the Garden State.

Despite the pandemic, the restaurant specializing in fish and chips opened in August 2020 and drew praise from people who tried their various fried seafood platters.

    I was really excited when they opened but the one time I went I wasn’t so impressed. IIRC the fish and chips were close to $20 and came with two fairly small pieces. Didn’t seem sustainable.

    I really wanted this place to be great I do love a fish and chips. It was mad mediocre and expensive though. Still went occasionally because I like fried seafood. Hope they pull through.

    Agree with both comments about how meh this place was. I remember signing up for their email dist list before they were opened as I was excited for fish n chips in the neighborhood - still miss Salt and Battery’s location on 2nd Ave.
