CHINATOWN—From a tipster, a little holiday weekend DOH action: “FYI: on my way to work I discovered that Chinatown dim sum mainstay, Chatham Square Restaurant, doors were locked and marked by the dreaded department of Health yellow sticker. I quietly weep my way to work without my daily pork bun fix.” [Eater Inbox]

MADISON SQUARE PARK ENVIRONS—The vultures have been circling for Sapa for a little while now, and earlier nowadays we heard word on the street that the place might be doneski. Not so, assures Sapa’s Brian Matzkow: “We’re closed just for the lengthy weekend. We reopen monday. Heading to the beach now. Have a great weekend.” [EaterWire]

swords hanging on the ceiling ain’t free,” we additionally tender you adieu for the duration. Back here, same duration, same channel, in a post-fireworks haze early Monday wee hours.
