Beloved Noodle House 88 Lan Zhou Closes August 15
You have one week to enjoy the fruits of 88 Lan Zhou.
The beloved Chinatown noodle house is set to close for good next week (August 15). Ownership blamed the coronavirus pandemic for rattling their hand-pulled noodle business.
Yet, this isn’t the first brush with closure for 88 Lan Zhou, which debuted back in 2007. It previously shuttered its dive spot on East Broadway in 2017, but later rebounded to its current locale on the Bowery.
However, unlike the last time, this closure appears permanent. At least according to the 88 Lan Zhou Instagram page.
