From bankruptcies to evictions or retirements, this page is where Eater Philly keeps track of every notable restaurant closure in the city for 2019 (and probably a few bar and cafe shutters, too). Seen any papered-over windows or abandoned patios in your neighborhood? Tell us about it. Feeling nostalgic about last year’s restaurant closings? Those are here.

The last couple of months saw longer lists of restaurant closings, but December was light:

After five years on East Passyunk Avenue, Brigantessa, noted on the list of Philly’s essential Italian restaurants, is closing at the end of the month. The owners’ Le Virtu is not affected — if you’re still holding on to a Brigantessa gift card after December 31, you can use it at Le Virtu.

Cinemug, the hybrid cafe and video store on South Broad, closed its doors for good.

As noted below, East Passyunk Avenue’s long-running Tre Scalini is closing at the end of the month; New Year’s Eve will be the final service.

Coffee shop/brunch spot Little Spoon Cafe on the corner of 15th and South streets is shutting its doors after five years. The final day is October 14. (Before Little Spoon the address was the weird/cool Baja Room, a Mexican restaurant cluttered with random objects that always seemed to have Ghostbusters on.)

The Spring Garden Street location of taco shop Heffe is closed, Inquirer.com reports. Chef Peter McAndrews of Paesano’s had originally opened Heffe. He just closed his Italian Market BYOB Monsu. But he’s already on to the next, with plans to re-open Modo Mio in a new location. The Heffe in Fishtown is still open.

The chicken cutlets Cotoletta is known for are no longer available in Bala Cynwyd: The original location is now closed. The newer Cotoletta, at 23rd and Pine in Fitler Square, is open.

In restaurant-adjacent news, the October 3 Night Market in Point Breeze will, sadly, be the last, as the nonprofit Food Trust doesn’t have the money to continue organizing them.
