RIP: 24 NYC spots that shuttered their doors this year

There’s a tremendous amount of turnover in the NYC bar and restaurant scene, and sometimes places we actually love are casualties of that tremendous amount of turnover. This year, there were 24 in particular that got us misty-eyed. These are the 24.

Snack Dragon

East Village
We'll miss this almost 10-year-old spot, stumbling into it to get late-night nachoritos, and thinking that 100sqft could cost less than $4,500 in the East Village.
 

Benny's Burritos

Alphabet City
We'll miss being able to sit down and grab a big-ass burrito and a badass margarita, though we're hopeful the new to-go spot means we'll still be able to at least get an overstuffed fix.
 

The Marrow

West Village
We’ll miss your duck schnitzel with wolfberries, which was amazing, and your ginger stout cake which was even amazing-er.

We’ll miss the peanuts all over the ground, and the fact that there was a place in Murray Hill that we could wander into and see some great live music or an offbeat burlesque act.
 

Jinya Ramen

West Village
We’ll miss this place that seemed to fly under the ramen-fiend radar, and also the black ramen and the weirdly good shrimp buns with cheese.
 

Dumont

Williamsburg
We’ll miss your burger, mac & cheese, gorgeous outdoor garden, and your crispy baby artichokes -- why aren’t more places doing crispy baby artichokes?

Pastis

We’ll miss the fact that we might see Lindsay Lohan there. JK, but we will miss having a place that was actually good in the Meatpacking District.
