"Inexpensive eco-friendly" Italian restaurant coming to old Graceland space



The signs posted at the former Graceland space provide the details... eventually the owners will want a sidewalk cafe here...




And if you notice the address, it's 150 E. Second St., which also happens to be the address of Nicky's. I asked the folks at Nicky's if this meant they are moving. However, a family member said the restaurant is just for the Graceland space. The family member said they will find out in another four weeks if they keep the East Village Nicky's location. (They also have a shop in Boerum Hill and one coming to near City Hall...)

Meanwhile, the new Italian restaurant is one of many up for CB3/SLA review on June 14.

    Hmmm, curious what makes it eco-friendly. Honestly would have preferred a deli going in there. Supper, and its increasingly obnoxious sidewalk crowd is one storefront away. Hopefully the new tenants will hold a neighbors' meeting.

    For sure Glamma! I checked the phone number on the posting. It used to be Supper's delivery number but now gets you to Frankie's catering, meaning this is another venture in the Supper empire. Which honestly makes me even more curious about the differentiating factors.

    Nice detective work, Ryan! I was so focused on the Nicky's aspect I didn't even think about calling the new people! I created a separate post with this info. Thanks
