Manhattan restaurant operator 101 W 55th Restaurant Inc. files Chapter 11

101 W 55th Restaurant Inc. filed for Chapter 11 protection on March 4, 2026, according to a BKData capture that identifies the filer as "a Manhattan-based restaurant entity." The BKData extract states, "BKData captured a voluntary Chapter 11 petition filed on March 4, 2026 by 101 W 55th Restaurant Inc., a Manhattan-based restaurant entity," and adds that "The BKData listing shows the March 4 filing date and categorizes the filing as a Chapter 11 business reorganization petition."

The BKData text in the supplied extract is truncated after "The publ," leaving immediate procedural details unreported in that capture. The extract supplies the filing date and the Chapter 11 categorization but does not include a bankruptcy court case number, assigned judge, schedules of assets and liabilities, or a creditor matrix. Those docket elements are not present in the BKData snippet and remain to be retrieved from federal court records.

A separate corporate profile entry appears under the name "55th Street Restaurant Inc." with an Oct 13, 2025 header and a listed incorporation date of October 15, 1982. The Bizprofile excerpt reads in full, "Oct 13, 2025 · 55th Street Restaurant Inc. is a New York, NY based company incorporated on October 15, 1982. Filing details extracted from the New York" and is truncated after that line. The supplied materials do not state that "55th Street Restaurant Inc." and "101 W 55th Restaurant Inc." are the same legal entity; the similarity of the names is noted in source reconciliation but not explicitly linked in the records provided.

City records pulled in the same timeframe offer partial context but do not identify the debtor. A DOHMH New York City Restaurant Inspection dataset stamped 03/04/2026 includes dozens of business entries and phone numbers across boroughs in the pages supplied, for example "50144903 QUALITY EDIBLES LLC Manhattan 42" and "50145547 ARRATA'S CATERING CORP Manhattan 1," and lists phone numbers such as 7186078306 and 9175869852. The DOHMH pages provided (Page 163 of 1638 through Page 169 of 1638) do not explicitly list 101 W 55th Restaurant Inc. in the supplied snippets.

Key reporting gaps remain. The BKData capture did not supply a PACER case number or filings that would show debtor counsel, the debtor's principal place of business or a creditor list. The corporate registry relationship between "101 W 55th Restaurant Inc." and the Bizprofile "55th Street Restaurant Inc." is unresolved; the Bizprofile record is dated Oct 13, 2025 and lists an incorporation date of October 15, 1982 but provides no direct linkage in the documents supplied.

Verification on PACER for the full Chapter 11 petition and schedules, a search of the New York Department of State business entity records for both corporate names, and a DOHMH inspection search for any 101 W 55th address are the next steps to identify case number, landlord, lenders, and any operating-location details. The BKData capture on March 4, 2026 stands as the first public signal of a reorganization filing for 101 W 55th Restaurant Inc.; court dockets and state filings will determine whether this move affects leases, vendors, or staff at a Midtown address.
