Habib's quietly opens on First Avenue

Last November, Habib's Place on Avenue A near Sixth Street closed rather suddenly...



Well! Thanks to Sean at East Village Wines for passing along the good news that Habib has relocated to the former Question Mark Cafe space on First Avenue between St. Mark's and Ninth Street. As Sean said, he's just getting started in the new location ... Indeed, as you can see, the old Question Mark signage remains...



However, some old Habib's clippings are up in the window...



And I've now officially lost track of all of Habib's former locations... Avenue A, Ninth Street, St. Mark's...

    That's great news. Congratulations to Habib! I hope, this time, he'll be in the same spot for a 100 years. Habib, given the resources, is one of the EV's great cooks.

    AGREED Anonymous, he's also a generous soul who will throw his regulars free tea or bird's nests and has great taste in jazz.
