Avenue A Sushi is confusing us

You may have noticed that the neon lights at Avenue A Sushi were back on this weekend... there was talk that the place had closed and would reopen as one big eatery that also incorporated the Mini Thai Cafe space next door... However, that deal apparently fell through...



An EV Grieve reader spoke with the owner... and the reader reported that the Mini Thai Cafe and Avenue A Sushi kitchens have been combined, though they were still serve separate menus... The owner also said Avenue A Sushi was just having a "soft opening" now...

Previously on EV Grieve:
Mini Thai Cafe and Avenue A Sushi to be combined into one new restaurant?

    I was at mini thai cafe this weekend and spoke to the owner. he said they were single now - no longer related to ave a sushi. he spoke about killer rent increases and how hard it is to survive, let alone make any real profit, as a small business owner in alphabet city these days. he said so far business at the new place has been ok but seems to lament the change. had an awesome pad woon sen as well. support local business : )

    Thanks for the information, Glamma. I don't get these absurd rent hikes. WHo do think landlords think can afford these?
