Aoi Kitchen closes on 6th Street; owners announce new concept for the space

Aoi Kitchen wrapped up nearly five years of service at 320 E. Sixth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue last night. 

In an Instagram post about the closure, the owners of the Japanese Yoshoku restaurant announced a new concept: 
... as one chapter ends, another begins. We are thrilled to share that we will be reopening as a wine bar (aiming to open in the middle of August). Our new venture will allow us to continue our passion for hospitality in a fresh and exciting way. We invite you to join us in this new journey, where we will offer a carefully curated selection of fine wines and a warm, inviting atmosphere. 
Eater's Robert Sietsema gave Aoi high marks ... and it brought stability to an address that had seen a whirlwind of restaurants in a short time, including 'Merica.

    This is super upsetting. This place was great and the area already has so many wine bars. It always seemed filled up whenever I went.
