East Village’s The Green Room Closes After Five Years

The Green Room, a farm-to-table restaurant in the East Village, has closed its doors as of April 10. The restaurant, known for its seasonal American cuisine, struggled with rising costs and staffing shortages. Owners confirmed the closure but did not announce any immediate plans for the space.

The Green Room opened in 2021 during a wave of new openings but faced ongoing challenges related to inflation and changing neighborhood dynamics. Its closure marks yet another loss for the East Village dining scene, which has seen several longstanding spots shutter recently.

Local diners expressed disappointment on social media, highlighting the restaurant’s commitment to local sourcing and wine program. The space at 123 East 7th Street is currently available for lease.
