Blue Quarter

03/16/2020

We closed our doors Saturday evening, not knowing what the next few days would bring. Running over the options with friends and other bars and restaurants in NYC. By mid afternoon we had decided to make a dificult decision to shutter until Covid 19 was contained. A few hours later the government made the same decision.

New York and New Yorkers are resilient, and band together in times of need. This is not a time to hoard food and resources but to find the most at need around you and share. Care for you loved ones and ones who rarely feel loved alike.

We hope to open our doors soon to all your smiling faces.
All the love in the world - Blue Quarter
