Huertas Is Closing in the East Village | Eater NY

"Set to close next month after nearly a decade in the East Village, the Basque restaurant Huertas is shutting because the building was purchased and its 10-year lease came to an end; chef and partner Jonah Miller wrote that he’d been negotiating with the new landlord but they haven’t been able to 'come to a number that works for both sides.' Its last day will be August 12. The restaurant received two stars from New York Times critic Pete Wells in 2014, and in 2015 Miller and co-owner Nate Adler scrapped the tasting-menu format and moved to a la carte. Miller said, 'We’ve had an amazing run and I’m certain that the final month will be truly special.'" - Emma Orlow
