In October, a group headed by Paul Seres went before the CB3/SLA committee to discuss a new venture called Apartment 13 at 115 Avenue C between East Eighth Street and East Seventh Street. As we understand it, some neighbors opposed the plan, in part due to the presence of co-applicant Aleksandra Drozd of Ludlow Manor/DL (and The Delancey). The committee denied the plan, and the applicants withdrew before appearing before the full Community Board that month.
Apartment 13 returns to the docket for this Monday's CB3/SLA meeting. And, according to paperwork (PDF!) on file with CB3, this time around, only the name of Paul Seres, president of the New York Nightlife Association and a member of Community Board 4 (serving Chelsea), is listed as an applicant.
There are also more details. For instance, here is the dining concept:
All entrees at Apt 13 will be market driven and will be served in the same style as Korean barbeque. Every dish will be served with side dishes, appetizers, condiments, sauces, salads, and garnitures. Seasonally and locally driven. Family styled dinners. Meant to feel reminiscent of an intimate sit down dinner in our apartment. All dishes will change based on market availability. In following the theme and mission statement of apartment 13 we strive to not only support our local state Farms but also our neighborhood by featuring local artists and supporting local businesses.
The paperwork shows 36 tables seating 80 people... and one bar seating 12 people.
And the proposed hours are as follows:
Saturday — 11 a.m. - 4a.m.
Sunday — 11 a.m. - midnight
Monday — closed
Tuesday-Wednesday — 4 p.m. - midnight
Thursday-Friday — 4 p.m. - 2 a.m.
The committee meeting is Monday night at 6:30, JASA/Green Residence, 200 E. Fifth St. at the Bowery.

Believe it's also another liquor in a resolution area.
ReplyDelete"All entrees at Apt 13 will be market driven" What does that mean?
ReplyDeleteLove the stealth bar action at 306 East 6th - 2 failed restaurants and now they are just shamelessly a bar, like the place a couple doors back to 2nd ave that always has a bouncer in the entryway that extends onto the sidewalk. Illegal construction ongoing at former Calcutta. Evil souen becoming unhinged and blasting disco music into 11:30 time range during the week.
market driven means how much can we rip you off for?
ReplyDeleteAs someone who eats out 3-4 times a week I can tell you things like "market driven" - whatever the F' that means - "family styled" and "your apartment" are things that will resonate with the owners and their publicist, not the customers. What customers like is quality, consistency and !!!PLEASE!!! good service.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't "market driven" probably just mean whatever is fresh and available from the market?
