NYC Restaurant Closings, April 2025 | Eater NY

"José Andrés’s affordable Mercado Little Spain diner has permanently closed; the sprawling restaurant opened in 2019 with the debut of Hudson Yards. In its place, Andrés’s second location of Oyamel is slated to open toward the end of April. Named for the fir tree that houses migrating Monarch butterflies, Oyamel will be a day-to-night tribute to Mexico City fare with antojitos (small plates), aguachiles, tortilla soup, and salads. Tacos will include carnitas, lengua, and, potentially, chapulines (the grasshopper tacos became synonymous with Oyamel when it first opened in D.C. in 2007)." - Nadia Chaudhury
