Billymark's West, a longstanding dive bar in Chelsea, closed after being under the Penza brothers' supervision since 1999. Its iconic decor remained unchanged, with proposed plans for a new aesthetic uncertain.
Multiple closures hit the East Village, including Dhom and Ise. Dhom's owner pointed to various financial factors post-COVID affecting the restaurant industry, hinting at the challenging operational environment.
Ise, a long-standing Japanese restaurant, announced its closure after years in Cooper Square. The chain closure of Joey Bats's East Village location emphasizes shifts in business strategies, observed through owner Joey Batista dismantling signage.
