Every Wednesday, West Side Rag publishes a new Openings & Closings column that monitors the businesses coming and going from the neighborhood. Now that we’re halfway through the year – time flies – more than 100 businesses have been featured in the column. That’s a lot to keep track of, even for regular WSR readers.
To help you stay up-to-date, here’s an alphabetical list (with links) of every opening we’ve covered over the past six months. This list also includes businesses that are planning to open soon as well as some that have popped-up, moved, expanded, or renovated.
Of course, the Openings & Closings column wouldn’t be possible without our many tipsters: thank you! Anyone can send tips about openings and closings that they see or hear about to info@westsiderag.com. Photos appreciated! And you can receive our free email newsletter by signing up – HERE.

Wow, this is an impressive list! Very happy to see it.
How could you have omitted from the list the article about the much-awaited opening of H-Mart on Amsterdam between 69th and 70th Streets?
H is for human.
Is a tech savvy somebody willing to map this list?
Nice to see so many openings. This is the best I’ve seen the UWS in over a decade here. I think one of the silver linings of the pandemic era is that more people started hanging out here instead of heading to midtown five days a week.
Not everything that is announced pans out.
The Auntie Anne/Carvel place that you list hasn’t opened yet and we’re still waiting for Taim Falafel that was supposed to open last year
To paraphrase Mark Twain, “Reports of the death of retail have been greatly exaggerated.” Thanks, WSR, for compiling this list.
Wondering if anyone knows….?
How does Birria-Landia Tacos Truck guarantee that it will get parking at its location 70th & Amsterdam?
I am puzzled….
PC Richard relocating date?
