DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Disney confirmed today that it will shut down ESPN Zone restaurants in Baltimore, Chicago, New York, Las Vegas and Washington, D.C. next week, but the move won't make a difference to .

"We are not affected by the decisions of Disney on their company-owned units," said Eric Levitt, the restaurant's General Manager. The L.A. Live store is owned by AEG, the developer of the entertainment complex.

The only other surviving ESPN Zone will be at Downtown Disney in Anaheim.
