"Grocer Forced to Close After 45 Years Due to Worsening Business Amid COVID"
Han’s Fruit and Vegetable Market, a 45-year-old Korean grocer on the Upper West Side, is closing at the end of April due to worsening business conditions, with the owner stating that it's even worse than during COVID. Meanwhile, Sake Bar Asoko, a new bar highlighting sake and shochu, is set to open in Chinatown this summer, while non-alcoholic drinks chain Boisson has closed all eight of its retail locations to focus on distribution and online sales. Additionally, former Chez Panisse chef Cal Peternell has opened a Mediterranean- and Italian-leaning restaurant called Finnbar in New Jersey.
