Workers have been tooling around the space... several readers recently asked what was coming here... Time Out provided the answer several weeks ago. The place will be called Jeepney, from the people behind Maharlika down First Avenue at Seventh Street.
Per Time Out:
The young guns behind behind ... Maharlika will put a Pinoy twist on the gastropub this fall. To eat, find Southeast Asian-inflected plates, including a meat loaf with ground chorizo, duck-egg yolks and an heirloom-tomato gravy. Styled after the ubiquitous colorfully decorated WWII jeeps in the old country, called “jeepneys,” the 70-seat spot will be kitted out with hand-painted signs.

we really dug Sa Aming Nayon.
yum
those hand painted signs are the best
My wife and really like Sa Aming Nayon as well. I think Willie was the owner, who was really great. Too bad, but at least another Filipino restaurant is taking its place.
Isn't "heirloom-tomato gravy" a little on the artisinal side to gain approval here?
