Panda NYC on Chrystie Kaput

Omen #1: On March 8, the Department of Health descends upon Panda NYC and proceeds to deep 86 the joint. The establishment collects a meager thirty-one violation points.

Omen #2: The DOH returns to 139 Chrystie Street on April 3, and levied the same decision. Closure.

Omen #3: The business phone number has been permanently disconnected and the gates are shuttered for the duration.

Omen #4: Eviction notice arrives on May 8.

Taken together, these omens signal that Panda NYC is dead in the water. The club first opened at Chrystie Street two years ago to rather mixed reviews. What was your opinion of the concept?
