The December 21 closure would affect 28 employees at 335 Bowery, the address of the Bowery Hotel.

September 17th, 2026: WARN notice filed for 335 Bowery site

Overview

Updated Oct 21

A food-and-beverage business at 335 Bowery, home of the Bowery Hotel, has filed notice that it will close by December 21. The filing lists 28 affected employees.

The notice is intent, not outcome. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires 60 days' warning before a mass layoff or site closing; this filing starts that countdown. Whether the location actually goes dark in December is still open.

Why it matters

Twenty-eight workers face losing their jobs by December, and the closing turns over another slice of the once-SRO Bowery.

Scenarios

1

Bowery F&B closes as filed, 28 workers laid off

Likely Resolves by Jan 31, 2027

Discussed by: The company's own WARN filing

The site at 335 Bowery goes dark December 21 and the 28 reported employees are laid off, as the notice describes. That would end the hotel's current dining operation unless another operator steps in.

2

Closure delayed or withdrawn

Possible Resolves by Apr 30, 2027

Discussed by: Observers of WARN notices, which are sometimes delayed or reversed

Bowery F&B postpones the closing past December 21, moves the date, or withdraws the filing, keeping the site open into 2027.

3

New operator takes over the space

Uncertain Resolves by End of 2027

Discussed by: Neighborhood news and commercial real estate watchers

After the closure, another restaurant, bar or tenant leases the space at 335 Bowery, and a new food-and-beverage or retail operation opens at the address.

Historical Context

2 moments from history that rhyme with this story — and how they unfolded.

mid-2000s

Sunshine Hotel SRO departure (mid-2000s)

The Sunshine Hotel, one of the Bowery's last single-room-occupancy hotels, was facing possible closure in the mid-2000s, City Limits reported.

Then

City Limits reported that closing the hotel would deprive the Bowery of one of its last remaining SROs.

Now

Luxury development and the New Museum's arrival next door completed the Bowery's shift from cheap lodging to upscale hospitality.

Why this matters now

It frames today's food-and-beverage closure as another step in the Bowery's long transformation.

March 2020

NYC hospitality layoffs at the pandemic's start (2020)

When the coronavirus pandemic hit in March 2020, restaurants and hotels announced mass layoffs. By March 23, industry experts estimated nearly half of the U.S. restaurant industry's 15 million workers had been laid off.

Then

New York restaurant and hotel workers lost jobs within days.

Now

The pandemic disrupted restaurant and hotel employment across the country.

Why this matters now

It is a reminder that a single 28-person closure is part of constant churn in New York hospitality, not an isolated event.
