Four Four South Village recently went dark at 11 E. Seventh St. near Cooper Square. Yelp lists the Taiwanese restaurant as closed (Google says it is temporarily closed). This address no longer appears on the brand's Instagram account. Four Four debuted here in March 2021.
Don Chicken has replaced Chick-In at 205 Allen St., just south of Houston.
The Korean fried chicken specialists have over a dozen outposts in several states.
Murphy's New York closed earlier this summer on Ninth Street between Avenue A and First Avenue... the Instagram account for the shop selling Jamaican patties and coco bread says that they are relocating.

This past Friday at Cafe Joah, 212 Avenue A between 13th Street and 14th Street, the members of De La Soul held a pop-up selling De La-themed donuts and special merch. And there was a line. (Photo by Stacie Joy)
Gut renovations have picked up recently on the SE corner of Second Avenue and Seventh Street.
Last summer, coming-soon signage for Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shoppe arrived here... and it eventually disappeared. Updated: We hear that the bagel shop is still a go.

Mocha Red Steakhouse + Mixology Bar has given way to sibling restaurant Nōmé at 127 Fourth Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street.
Per the restaurant's website: "Nōmé's chic downtown vibe features a creative menu that celebrates Nikkei cuisine. From the Mocha Hospitality Group team, Nōmé is open for lunch, dinner and brunch. Chef Santiago Chiuz and Sushi Chef Hiroji Sawatari have curated a bold menu rich in Peruvian and Japanese flavors."
According to the Resy description, there's a "must-order burger that features beef sourced from two different countries and took nearly a year to perfect."
This might explain the $55 price tag for the Le Cabernet Prime Burger.
With Mocha out, we don't know the status of the Mocha Dream Lounge around the corner at 100 E. 13th St. between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue... where "your culinary dreams come true," per its Instagram account, last updated in February 2022...

My culinary dreams don't involve $55 cheeseburgers, my culinary nightmares do.
It's a shame the city has decided to give all the incentives (and public sidewalks) to one industry: Restaurants. What about retail? I promise if a store took up sidewalk space, there would be swift fines. Now we're just left with $30 burgers, $20 cocktails and $28 salads and loud drunk people outside our windows. NYC turned into a one giant foodcourt.
Complaining about food now is wild lmao
Actually, we're complaining about pricing ... (and secretly your reading comprehension.)
Murphy's website (linked in their insta) is dead. their last comment on any post was 8 weeks ago, saying they were relocating... but no news since. we'll see what happens, but i am doubtful they will be opening again anytime in the near future.
