Sadly, the Filipino restaurant Jeepney on First Avenue in the East Village has permanently closed after nine years in business.

Nicole Ponseca decided to close @jeepneynyc for a variety of reasons including that being an independent restauranteur has been difficult and as told to Eater, she wants “a better life for myself….If I could see my vision through, it would have a support team. I don’t want this to be the end of Jeepney”. 

We will miss this restaurant and its award-winning Chori Burger 🍔 (beef and longganisa patty with spiced banana ketchup, Maggi aioli, archaea pickles , and egg served on a brioche bun) but hope to see it again in some form (partnering with a restaurant group) in the future.
