Cleaning up Caffe Buon Gusto

The empty shell of the longtime-coming Caffe Buon Gusto on Avenue B at Fifth Street has been a favorite photo op of EV Grieve's through the years...






However! Tonight, the CBGers are on the CB3/SLA docket (again) ... which is likely why workers have been busy cleaning up the exterior of late...


And a photo from @scottlava ...


CBG went before the CB3/SLA last May, a performance that gave some audience members a chuckle ... from our recap via RyanAvenueA:

[T]he guys applying for the sidewalk cafe for a non-existent business were hilarious. Having a business license and applying for a liquor license under different names, NOT actually having a business, and then being surprised when they wouldn't give them a sidewalk license. Hilarious. Best was when the "personal representative" of Buon Gusto's owner (hey nice ascot by the way!) said he missed his son's chorus concert to be there, so he was rightfully indignant that CB3 wouldn't hear him out.
