From Chef Kevin Tien:
“Moon Rabbit says Goodbye to Bryant St
As the year comes to a close, Moon Rabbit will be closing at Bryant St Market this Friday December 15th. Once we close, we will be retiring every past dish you have come to love. So if you are needing the crawfish and noodles pasta or the Sichuan maple fried chicken, this is your last chance to get it.”
HOWEVER:
