NYC Egg Sandwich Shop Closes Original Restaurant in Nolita
is a born-and-raised New Yorker who is an editor for Eater's Northeast region and Eater New York, was the former Eater Austin editor for 10 years, and often writes about food and pop culture.
An 11-year-old casual restaurant dedicated to all-things egg sandwiches closed its original location in New York this week. Egg Shop shuttered in Nolita at 151 Elizabeth Street, between Broome and Kenmare streets, on Sunday, August 17.
Co-owners and married couple Sarah Schneider and Demetri Makoulis originally opened Egg Shop in 2014 with chef Nick Korbee (who now runs a restaurant out in Wichita, Kansas). The menu focused on the name ingredient in breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and plates like chilaquiles and Turkish eggs. They expanded with a second location in Williamsburg in 2017 (which remains open), and a Greek American homestyle restaurant, Gus and Marty's, in 2024 (both of which remain open), plus a cookbook. Eater has reached out for more information.
M. Wells' pop-up residency brings it back to Long Island City
M. Wells, the lauded Queens restaurant-turned-pop-up, has returned home to its original Long Island City stomping grounds for a summer residency. It's been happening at wine bar On the 7 at 50-04 Vernon Boulevard, near 50th Avenue, since June, and will continue into mid-September. The bistro-ish menu includes lots of seafood, such as monkfish cordon bleu and cod cacciatore. It takes place on Sundays and Mondays starting at 5 p.m., with the final seatings at 10 p.m.; reservations can be booked online.
Sarah Obraitis and Hugue Dufour closed M. Wells Steakhouse in January after a decade because they decided against renewing their lease. Instead, they launched a pop-up series starting at Buschwick's New York Distilling Company in the spring. This is their second pop-up residency location, amongst one-off collaborations and events.
NYC bakery chain seems to be shuttered
It seems like bakery Ovenly closed its remaining location in Brooklyn last month. The 31 Greenpoint Avenue bakery is currently 'taking a pause,' per its website, as reported by Greenpointers, since Tuesday, August 12. However, Ovenly appears to still be selling its baked goods, like cakes and cookies, for national shipping through Goldbelly. Eater has reached out for more information.
Founders Erin Patinkin and Agatha Kulaga started the company in 2010 and expanded throughout the city, but then closed most of its locations in 2023, including Park Slope, Williamsburg, the West Village, and, later on, Cobble Hill.
