First, it finally looks as if Tonda is gone. (Though watch it be randomly open this weekend...)
E.U., the first "gastropub" in the East Village, had the space before Tonda. And that was drama city. E.U. battled the SLA for 18 months before finally getting approved for a beer and wine license. (Read more E.U. drama here at Eater.)
Given the recent history of this place, we thought we'd check in with the representative whose name graces the CB3/SLA flyer on the front of Tonda.
So we asked Warner M. Lewis of Halstead Property via email if he could provide some details on what's coming here. Neighbors are curious!
"We are still in development and have no comment at this time."
Guess we'll have to wait until Monday night's meeting then.

That's a neighborly no comment!
Just a bit more google research leads you to this:
