3 colors later, Saints Tavern is now Kamikaze & Co. on St. Mark's Place

[November 2012]

Saints Tavern arrived in late 2012 in the former Typhoon Lounge on St. Mark's Place just west of First Avenue.

Then the place became really purple in May 2013 …

Now! It's gold! We spotted workers painting it on Friday … there's also a new name and concept — Kamikaze & Co., which, per the sign, serves "craft beer, Asian-style tacos and cocktails" …




[Last evening]

What will the next color be here?

As for Saints Tavern, we never knew anyone who went in here. Recent Yelp reviews are full of 1 stars, for what that is worth.

    This place is sooooo edgy. I just love the "theme" (sarcasm).

    Saints tavern was good for cold food, uncomfortable seating and stoned bartenders.

    Actually, Saints wasn't a bad place to stop for a couple of cheap drinks. This new concept seems kinda lame, however.

    Wasn't this place once "Passport" restaurant? I used to live at 102 St. Marks and my roommates and I would hang out there for hours after brunch -- smoking cigs (back when I smoked), drinking their awesome Mexican coffee...They had great chips, too. Ah, memories of NYC in the early 90s.

    I wish there was a cool name for suicide bombers whose (short) life mission is to kill Americans, I'd totes name my bar in America after them. If that doesnt work I'll theme it after the next edgiest thing - A movie like Fight Club. The first rule of going to Durdens is.......
