After 15 years of service, we regretfully announce that Negril Chelsea will be setting sail on May 31st, 2009. Due to increased rent and higher cost of doing business, we have been forced to make this difficult decision. We thank you for your support of Negril Chelsea over the years. Negril is proud to have fed some of the most important people of our time and to have been a part of many of your memorable experiences.
Although Negril Chelsea will be closing, the Negril brand and legacy will continue to thrive at our sister restaurant Negril Village (70 West 3rd Street). We hope that you continue to support our brand and continue your patronage at our Village location. To entice you, we have included some of your favorite Chelsea dishes on our Village menu.
We will also be offering a 20% discount (Sun. – Thurs.) until September 31st, to Chelsea customers making the switch. We look forward to continuing our service of the finest caribbean food in the city and many more memorable experiences with you.
We thank you for making Negril Chelsea, New York City’s all-time favorite Caribbean restaurant of choice.
