EV Grieve Eatery Etc.: Alder's rustic look; First Avenue's next noodle joint; Pudgie's empty canopy

Haven't done one of these roundups in some time...

-----

Progress at noted LES chef Wylie Dufresne's new pub called Alder, opening on Second Avenue near East 10th Street... looking rustic or cabin-y...



-----

EVG regular WIlliam Klayer notes the new "tapas and noodle bar" is opening at 141 First Avenue, which has been a few ramen places since its day as a fish market...







-----

... and, sadly, the iconic signage for the shuttered Pudgie's-Nathan's-Arthur Treacher's action-packed combo on First Avenue has been stripped off the canopy. Note on the door still says "pardon our appearance during renovation."

The neighborhood needs a fish market. And fried chicken needs skin-- this was the Pudgie's mistake.

Please bring back the fish market.

OK, I'm stumped. What comes after reclaimed wood and well-crafted cocktails? Interactive wallpaper and peppy almonds? Moroccan slippers and chicken sticks?

Bring back the fishmongers indeed! I hate having to go to Whole Foods for fish and it's usually a day past off anyway. And I am desolated: no more Nathan's fries! Oh, the horror.

I will not pardon that appearance.
Officer, arrest that store......
