Southside, Brinkley's To Close In Nolita: Report

NOLITA, NY — Two Nolita bars that have become mainstays of downtown nightlife will close this month, their owners said.

Brinkley's Broome Street, located at 406 Broome St., and Southside, located just beneath it at 1 Cleveland Pl., will close before the end of June, Eater was first to report.

"We’ve had a good twelve year run and we made a lot of friends, but we are moving on and Anthony and I want to focus on expanding our other restaurant brands," Tom Martignetti told Eater. "It’s always better to leave on a high note. We will be here for another couple of weeks if anyone wants to come say goodbye."

The brothers own several NYC restaurants and bars, include the Pizza Beach restaurants on the Upper and Lower East Sides. They did not immediately respond to an email from Patch seeking additional information.
