New York Restaurants Are Bracing for Another Bleak Winter, Survey Says | Eater NY
"This decades-old fixture in Manhattan’s Chinatown is at risk of permanently shutting down due to high rent and tax payments amid the ongoing pandemic; many of the mall’s vendors, including restaurants and retail shops, have been hit hard, producing an avalanche of vacancies. Once home to about 80 mom-and-pop vendors, the mall is now down to just 17 tenants, and general manager Terry Chan is advocating for the city to help keep the longstanding space open as businesses face both economic devastation and disproportionate impacts from anti‑Asian violence and xenophobia." - Erika Adams
