Sidewalk now re-opening next week

When we last checked in on the Sidewalk's reopening, an insider told us they were aiming to be open by Aug. 5. As in tomorrow.

However!

A publicist working for the Sidewalk said: "We are currently looking at opening the second week of August as opposed to August 5." There is a soft opening Monday for family and friends.

Meanwhile, yesterday, Bobby Williams took these photos of workers removing the graffiti from the restaurant's rolldown gates on Avenue A and Sixth Street.

... and a quick look inside the dining room...
