It s sad when restaurants close. Thanks to the worldwide pandemic, this has been a profoundly sad year for the hard-hit restaurant industry.
According to the New Jersey Restaurant & Hospitality Association, at least 8% of restaurants have closed this year due to the pandemic. It expects another 42% to close.
The following is a list of restaurants that were felled by COVID-19. They run the gamut from small, casual joints to expansive, full-service emporiums, from independently owned restaurants to chains, from barely opened spots to longtime stalwarts. COVID-19 has proven to be an equal-opportunity destroyer.
