El Quijote

VANISHING

After close xc years inwards the Chelsea Hotel, the slap-up as well as wonderful as well as gorgeous El Quijote is closing on March 30.



Eater reports: "Staffers at the historic restaurant, located at 226 West 23rd St. betwixt Seventh as well as Eighth avenues, were given 2 weeks notice. Ownership allegedly told employees that the eating theatre is existence renovated as well as volition re-open eventually. Eater NY has reached out to the eating theatre for comment."

Back inwards 2014, I reported on this coming closure. At the time, I was told that El Quijote would live on upscaled as well as sanitized inwards a fashion like to what happened to Minetta Tavern.

The innovation was denied -- as well as thus confirmed. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 rep for Ed Scheetz, the human being who took over the hotel, said at the fourth dimension that they would "retain the signature await as well as experience of El Quijote" piece "maintaining its authenticity."

But thus life went on. El Q remained untouched. We held our breath.

When -- as well as if -- the house reopens, it won't live on the onetime El Quijote anymore.
