"City Mouse, the restaurant curated by Giant chef Jason Vincent, will close Sunday, October 18. City Mouse and its casual menu will be replaced by Alinea. City Mouse had been with the Ace Hotel from the start, opening in August 2017. The Ace brought on Jason Vincent to curate its food program and to create the restaurant. Vincent brought on Pat Sheerin as City Mouse’s executive chef. Ace’s management blames COVID-19 for City Mouse’s demise. Before the pandemic, City Mouse served workers with laptops and customers from nearby offices. However, the pandemic kept potential customers away, leading to its closure." - Ashok Selvam
