COVID has impacted countless number of restaurants across New York City. All restaurants have seen drops in revenue and/or have been forced to close. Kaimen Company, the organizers of Chinatown Restaurant Week are monitoring these business conditions. Kaimen's original plan was to create mini Chinatown Restaurant Weeks in other parts (i.e., Flushing, Sunset Park) of the New York City. For now, these plans are on hold until further notice. In the interim, Kaimen is making Chinatown Restaurant Week's name available for licensing and is also making themselves available for consultation on setting up all kinds of restaurant weeks.
Absolutely! During the pandemic, Kaimen conducted research to see how best to share the learnings of creating and producing a Chinatown Restaurant Week with others. The learnings are applicable to creating any restaurant week and not limited to just Chinatowns.
