"Bushwick: , the burger spot hidden away inside the BP gas station on Myrtle Avenue, has closed. The fast food counter, from the team behind Little Flower and Sami's Kebab House, gained a following for its late-night halal eats. On Instagram, Blue Hour's owners cited the end of their short term lease but confirmed that the concept is in search of its next home. The team has two other new projects in the works, including a new space in Brooklyn Heights. 1525 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn"
"Sippy Cafe's Greenpoint location is scheduled to close by mid-October after a five-year run. Billed as "Brooklyn's first pan-Asian inspired cafe," Sippy specializes in sweet cream cold brew, tea, and lattes made with black sesame, strawberry, and ube, along with croissants, cookies, and eggy sandwiches. The closure is caused by its "rent prices nearly tripling," notes co-owners Cerina Shao and Judy Zhu, who maintain another Sippy Cafe in Brooklyn Heights off Remsen Street. 200 Franklin Street, Brooklyn"
"Appas Pizza, the Korean pizza parlor that opened in 2023, has closed. The restaurant, which served pizza topped with bulgogi and kimchi, was inspired by the Korean pizzas that owner Kelsey Seo remembered her father, Yong Seo, bringing home from his job at Pizza Hut in Seoul when she was a child. 210 First Avenue, Manhattan"
Multiple restaurants across Manhattan and Brooklyn closed this month, affecting neighborhoods including Brooklyn Heights, Bushwick, East Village, Greenpoint, Kips Bay, and Soho. Closures include Pips wine bar, a hidden burger spot in a BP gas station, Appas Pizza, Sippy Cafe's Greenpoint location, and Coppola East after 28 years. Stated causes include the end of short-term leases and sharp rent increases, with owners citing rent prices nearly tripling and some concepts searching for new homes. Some operators maintain other locations or have new projects in development. Longstanding neighborhood favorites and newer concepts were both impacted, altering local dining options.
