"Seven-year-old Tribeca wine bar Racines is closing its doors on July 30. Chef Diego Moya, the fourth chef to take over Racines’ kitchen, is stepping away in order to spend time with his newborn child, Grub Street reports. The owners decided to not install a fifth leadership team. Under Moya’s tenure, the restaurant was known for well-executed seafood and vegetable dishes including scallops with squash and grilled Caraflex cabbage. The establishment was also a popular destination for people interested in wine where customers could geek out over an extensive list of bottles. On its website, Racines owners say that they plan to revamp the spot with a new restaurant that will open in the same location “at some point later this year.”" - Erika Adams
