"The Banty Rooster, one of a handful of New York City restaurants serving Southwestern cuisine, has closed its doors less than a year after it opened them. The owners attributed the closure to the economic downturn from the coronavirus pandemic and, more specifically, to the way city and state officials responded to it. “Where elected officials might have moderated landlord-tenant negotiations, or addressed the insurance industry’s denials of claims like ours, they did not,” the owners shared in a post on Instagram this week." - Eater Staff
