Sparkling Wine Restaurant Sekt Closes Its Doors

The small plate and sparkling wine restaurant Sekt, opened by Korzo owner Otto Zizak in the El Rincon Familiar space at 651 5th Avenue (between 18th and 19th Street), appears to have closed, as many neighbors recently pointed out after we gave it a brief mention in a post about new businesses on this stretch of 5th Avenue.

Making its debut in October of 2013, Sekt welcomed a string of positive Yelp reviews, but never really seemed to find its footing in the neighborhood. We’ve reached out Otto for additional information on the closure, but have yet to hear back. In the meantime, we want to wish our neighbor continued success down the street at Korzo.
