As you know, Alex Stupak, who operates Empellón Cocina and Empellón Taqueria, is opening a restaurant at 132 St. Mark's Place at Avenue A, where the Sushi Lounge closed at the end of October.Stupak told Eater yesterday that the place will house more than just another Mexican restaurant. The space will also be home to a tortilleria, which will supply this restaurant and his two others with tortillas.
Per Eater:
We are building a bar and restaurant around a small facility dedicated to the process ... Our new place will go from kernel of corn, to nixtamal, to masa, to tortilla at 132 St. Marks ...
The still-unnamed restaurant looks to open in September.

I'm elated
I sure hope they'll make enough tortillas to sell them to the public too.
Well that sure sounds good.
Get back to me after I see the prices though.
"Our new place will go from kernel of corn, to nixtamal, to masa, to tortilla at 132 St. Marks ..."
Biscuits, anyone?
It would be awesome to buy a pack of fresh tortillas from this place; maybe we should start a petition.
