200 Avenue A back in play?


What's going on with the storefront space at 200 Avenue A, previously haunted by Superdive? A group calling themselves Hospitality LLC with a concept for an "art gallery with a full-service restaurant" had appeared before and been rejected by the CB3/SLA committee three times.

They fought and fought and fought... and finally, in April, the State Liquor Authority OK'd a liquor license for the group.

Now this sign recently appeared on the front window...


We'll see what we can find out about the situation here...

Updated 9:09:
Word along here is that Hospitality LLC figured they wouldn't be able to make a go of it with a midnight closing time, per the SLA stipulations.

    We love coffee. Why can't someone open a nice little coffee shop here? And they can sell tea, too, and snacks. We love snacks. Look at how business is booming at nearby Ost and Ciao For Now. Take a lesson from them. This is a great location. Anything but another bar, please!

    It was a coffee shop a number of years ago, run by a couple of very nice gay men. Good coffee, pastries, no business.

    200 Avenue A was the original location for Korova Milkbar. I DJ'd there from '97 until the mid 2000's. I think we should bring this back.. :)
