Dumbo: After three years, Bark Barbecue will close its first-ever permanent outpost inside Brooklyn’s Time Out Market on Saturday, November 7. “All good things must come to an end,” its cowboy hat-wearing pitmaster Ruben Santana tells followers in a video message near his walk-up food hall stall. But luckily, fans of his Central Texan barbecue with Dominican touches don’t have to go far to find white oak-smoked brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and plenty of sides. Bark’s huge Bushwick location, complete with 1,000-gallon smokers, opened this summer to much excitement. Bark originally got its start as a pop-up in Queens in 2020 and grew a fan base from there. 55 Water Street, near Dock Street
East Village: La Linea, the longstanding bar and lounge known for its rotating DJ nights, watch parties for everything from the World Cup to the Knicks playoffs, and happy hour rum punches, shut down right after Halloween after a 32-year run. However, the space will get a new tenant soon. Per EV Grieve, there’s a recently approved application for a to-be-named tavern to slide in and take over. The new owners have affiliations with now-closed McKenna’s Pub and the Mayfly. 15 First Avenue, between First Street and Second Street
Midtown: That was quick: Osaka, Japan-based omurice-slinging restaurant Dearbros already closed its nine-day-old pop-up at Japanese cafe BentOn on Thursday, October 29, because they were overwhelmed with guests. They’re turning their attention to opening a permanent New York City restaurant. Eater has reached out for more information. 156 E. 45th Street, near Third Avenue
