Turkish vegetarian fast-food chain opening on East Ninth Street


A tipster points us to East Ninth Street... just west of Avenue A, where Cigkoftem is opening... it's a Turkish vegetarian fast-food chain founded in 1993 ... their website doesn't translate all that well ... As far as I can tell this is the chain's first New York outpost.

By the way, this is the space to the left of Itzocan Café. Wasn't it some sort of short-lived coffee shop/falafel place or something previously?

    Where are the rants against another sopul-sucking food chain opening in the EV?

    I can't remember what is was just prior to Itzocan but a while back it was Habib's Place which I still miss!
