Loring Place to Close This July Amid Rising Costs
Loring Place will permanently shut down on July 14, 2026, ending its nearly decade-long run in New York City. The restaurant owner, Chef Dan Kluger, shared a long, emotional message with the closure announcement.
In a social media post, he wrote, “After nine and a half years, we have some bittersweet news to share. Loring Place will close on July 14, 2026. We are just four months shy of our ten-year anniversary.”
