RIP China Chalet

In its glory days—or rather, glory nights—China Chalet boasted high-profile attendees at its restaurant-transformed-nightclub: from actor Timothée Chalamet to rappers Cardi B and Denzel Curry, to the infamous Ghislaine Maxwell. Not only did it become a haven for modern America’s gentry, but it welcomed the serfs as well; it didn’t cater to one community or genre of people.

The underwhelming restaurant warrants a funeral, but the overwhelming, all-inclusive nightclub deserves a celebration of life ceremony. One of the last great New York venues has died of COVID-19.
