All my favorite restaurants are either closing or reshuffling these days!
Tough time! LOL

One more shout out: they had some great dim sum. And an excellent Peking Duck. I fear that on the Chinese food front we will soon be left with nothing but Sichuan options. Where are all the new and good Cantonese spots?

CB had a great happy hour with good curbside seating and an abbreviated menu, hopefully Carmellini will keep some remnant of that.

Otherwise, wasnt CB generally regarded as gentrified, expensive dim sum for the Carrie Bradshaws of the world? I have had some goodish meals there, but I can say this is really a tragic loss. Carmellini does a good job, is not like its a starbucks or something moving into the space...

I regard CB as a restaurant serving some of the best dim sum in the city. Now that CB's closed, the only other alternative whose dim sum is on the same level is Hakkasan, which is more expensive than CB.

Andrew Carmellini is planning a new French restaurant in the Chinatown Brasserie space.

that will be interesting as he used to be a chef at Cafe Boulud.

Oh, dammit! Well, there's still Hakkasan for dim sum. Ugh. I shall miss CB.

[kosmose7]

Me too, I will really miss it badly.... Hope it will come back soon!

A third who's going to miss CB. Sigh.

I always enjoyed the dumplings in CB.. I've never been to Hakkasan, but I'd like to try a good dim sum place that I never tried before..
