Caracas Arepa Bar announced the closure of its Williamsburg location via an Instagram post.
“We have come to the end of this chapter and we have decided to close the circle … for now… to allow for some brain and soul expansion…” they wrote, “We are not disappearing, this is not the end, we are just making the very hard and sad decision to close this location to rethink what makes sense.”

Oh no!!! I love Caracas
So sad! I loved Caracas and would visit it nearly every month pre-Covid. I’ll be making a visit to their Rockaway Beach location.
