We've been watching the progress over at 107 First Ave. between East Sixth Street and East Seventh Street, where Huertas, a restaurant featuring "the cuisine of Northern Spain," is set to debut.
Fork in the Road reports that chef-owner Jonah Miller will officially open the doors tomorrow evening (they've been in soft-open mode since last Tuesday).
Here's more about Miller, who started working in restaurants in the city at age 14, via FITR:
Miller's inspiration comes from a variety of experiences. "When I was coming up, it was a time when Spain was influencing cooking throughout the world," he says. "That and the fact that Spanish was spoken in kitchens made me want to study abroad in Spain in college. When I was there, I realized the experience of eating in Madrid is not really available in New York."
So he built it, giving an East Village space a revamp to make it feel old — "We want people to feel like they've been here before," he explains …
This address was previously home to L'asso EV, the pizzeria that closed in July 2013.
Here's is the restaurant's website with more info and menus and stuff.
