New York City's famed 21 Club restaurant will be "indefinitely ceasing operations," a restaurant union president told CNN.
Bill Granfield, president of the Unite Here Local 100 labor union, says he received a letter on December 9 stating the restaurant is closing and all employees will be permanently terminated on March 9, 2021. The union represents 120 of the restaurant's approximately 140 workers, according to Granfield.
The 21 Club closed on March 16 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and has not reopened. Granfield says he believes the restaurant will return in some capacity in the future.
The restaurant first opened its doors on January 1, 1930 and became one of Manhattan's "most famous speakeasies of the Prohibition Era," according to its website.
From its perch on West 52nd street, 21 Club became a place to see and be seen for entertainers, business leaders and politicians.
The restaurant is easy to spot thanks to its collection of ornamental jockeys lining the balcony above its entrance. The first jockey was donated in the 1930s and more were added over the years thanks to donations from storied New York families like the Vanderbilts and Mellons, according to the 21 Club website.

My Dad grew up in Hollis Queens and made something of himself. He must have dined at the 21 Club because we had matchbooks from the place lying around. I’ve walked past it many times but never ate there. My question is: why are all of the lawn jockeys white? Looks pretty racist to me.

No,no,no. David Brooks, a member of the Expert Class, said the “blue cities were Thriving”. This must be Russian lies.

The NYC restaurant tried to make them change the name.
It didn’t happen.
Minimum wage increase might have played a part, too. It’s going up again the first of the year. And all increases will be determined annually by a committee from then on, not by the legislature.
Is it possible that after all this that New Yorkers will continue to vote for Democrats? Not a rhetorical question.
One of my friends is a priest at a parish called Our Lady of Perptual Help. A microbrewery opened down the street called Our Lady of Perpetual Hops. He’s gotten a few free beers out of the deal.
