Looking at some of the (temporary?) restaurant closings in the East Village

Tahini on Third Avenue at St. Mark's Place was closed for a few days...




Grub Street noted last week that the Bamn! Automat on St. Mark's was closed...the sign on the door simply reads "closed today." It was still shuttered as of yesterday...



Ryan's is still closed on Second Avenue...



And there is a "temporarily closed for remodeling" sign up at Ray's on Avenue A between 12th Street and 13th Street...(As I recall, this space was previously Papa D's Pizza. Never tried their pizza...)



Meanwhile!

Coming soon to Second Avenue between 11th Street and 12th Street...



Finally, Table 12, the bistro at 12th Street and Avenue A that Jill mentioned last Wednesday, is now open...
