We walked by the former Goat Town space the other morning ... where the 4-year-old bistro at 511 E. Fifth St. between Avenue A and Avenue B closed in early July.
Workers have gutted the restaurant to make way for a new concept from the owners called called GG's, which "will serve a very different menu than the current New American menu, but will still include ingredients sourced from the restaurant's back garden," a rep told Eater.
As far as the new space goes, we took a look through the mostly papered windows… still appears to be in the gut renovation stage…
The address has been home to several restaurants since Le Tableau closed in December 2007. Before Goat Town, the space was home to Seymour Burton and Butcher Bay.

Too much real estate coverage and not enough other reporting on the neighborhood. Just my opinion and of course this could be because real estate news is the only news in the East Village now.
I loved going there when it was Le Tableau down hill ever since
GG Allin themed food menu ?
WWGGD? What would GG do? Prob eat and then take a dump and throw it and everyone. And then leave and never return. His death was followed a couple months later by Guiliani's election. Those events to me were the end of old NY. Its never been same.

Apparently GG Allin ate normal food before a performance, just a lot of it.
At the time I liked GG as a wild diversion, only with the benefit of hindsight can I see how important and essentially correct he was.
