"Launched in 2019 by the Ruffian team (Alexis Percival, Patrick Cournot, Moshe Schulman, and Josh Ochoa), this small East Village spot focused on a concise menu and natural wines; it closed on Sunday, August 14 and held a yard sale with keepsakes like spoons and glasses on August 20. In an Instagram post, Moshe Schulman cited inconsistent sales, inflation, a looming recession, another potential COVID outbreak, and decreased foot traffic in Manhattan as reasons for the closure." - Caroline Shin
