"Fat Choy, a popular vegan spot on the Lower East Side, will close after two years on December 23. (Owners Justin and Katie Lee announced the news over Instagram this weekend without further details.) In its two-year run, the restaurant propelled vegan Chinese food “into a delicious new era,” serving mushroom “sloppy joes” and other fare that doesn’t rely on Impossible Beef and other manufactured meat substitutes." - Luke Fortney
