"Hakkasan — the splashy Midtown outpost of the international fine dining Cantonese chain — has permanently closed after eight years in the city due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19. The Theater District spot has remained closed since the pandemic-related shutdown in March. It debuted in NYC in 2012 serving up extravagant dishes like Peking duck with kaluga caviar and Japanese abalone with black truffle. The restaurant received mixed reviews but was praised for its dim sum selection." - Luke Fortney
