Once-Hot Meatball Shop Shutters Last Location - and More NYC Restaurant Closures in April
"The Meatball Shop, the once-skyrocketing NYC chain that closed its last-remaining storefront in late March, got its start in 2010 on the Lower East Side, quickly ballooning to seven fast-casual locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn."
"After many great years, The Meatball Shop has closed its doors, with its long-gone founders now in LA and the podcast/wellness world, respectively. They teased a Meatball Shop reboot for 2026."
"The Gray Mare was put out to pasture the last weekend of March after a valiant 10-year run, with the team expressing excitement for a new concept coming in the summer."
A guide tracks the closures of restaurants, bars, and cafes in New York City for April 2026. The Meatball Shop, a popular chain, closed its last location in Hell's Kitchen after a decline due to the pandemic and lease issues. The founders hinted at a potential reboot of the brand in 2026. The Gray Mare, a bar in the East Village, also closed after ten years, with plans for a new concept in the future. The list will be updated weekly to reflect ongoing closures.
