A big loss to report for vegans.
Sacred Chow, the cozy Sullivan Street institution, announced its closure this week after an impressive twenty-five -year run. Final day is next Monday (September 14).
In the meantime, the Greenwich Village restaurant is selling off all its equipment, and giving freebies, under the temporary banner of the Sacred Chow General Store.
“To all my fellow covid-strapped vegan chefs & owners, come take a look, everything is at near-nothing or free, tons of stainless steel shelving, tables, restaurant-kitchen supplies & equipment, big & small, all vegan clean! There’s lots to grab,” the Instagram post reads.
Sacred Chow was founded on Hudson Street in June 1995 by owner-chef Cliff Preefer, offering a series of plant proteins by the pound, along with pre-made juices, soups, stews, and a full bakery. The move to Sullivan Street happened a decade later, changing its format to a cafe/bistro.
