Sarabeth\u2019s Shuts Down Two Manhattan Locations<\/p>\n
Sarabeth\u2019s<\/a>, a long-running restaurant and bakery in New York City, has shut down two locations in Manhattan. The restaurants ended service at Greenwich Village and Park Avenue South locations on Sunday, August 16. Sarabeth\u2019s continues to operate its flagship Central Park South and Upper West Side locations.<\/p>\n The restaurant shared news of the closures on Facebook and Instagram. The posts thanked the teams, guests, and neighbors who made the restaurants a vibrant part of New York City. It also shared that the economics of running the two locations were no longer sustainable.<\/p>\n Sarabeth\u2019s was founded by Sarabeth Levine and Bill Levine in 1981.<\/p>\n Reasons Behind the Closures<\/p>\n Sarabeth\u2019s closed two of its Manhattan restaurants after deciding that they were no longer financially sustainable. The closures also come during a time when Sarabeth\u2019s is facing a legal dispute with the landlord of its Upper West Side restaurant. Despite the legal dispute, the restaurant plans to continue operating its Upper West Side location.<\/p>\n According to a report by Hoodline<\/a>, the Greenwich restaurant was the brand\u2019s first major Manhattan expansion<\/a> in 13 years. The location closed less than two years after opening. The landlord is working to transition the space to a new tenant.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the building at the Park Avenue South location changed ownership. The restaurant struggled with low occupancy in the building and long-term scaffolding. According to Hoodline, it was also unable to reach an agreement with the new landlord, which led to its closure.<\/p>\n Sarabeth\u2019s has been reducing its NYC footprint in recent years. Its Tribeca restaurant closed in July 2024 after losing its lease, and its Chelsea Market bakery closed in March 2026, as per the Hoodline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarabeth\u2019s has closed two of its restaurants in Manhattan.
