Something new to take home on Avenue A



An EVG reader noted that the sign went up Saturday for the new restaurant taking over the former San Loco space at 151 Avenue A — TakeMeHome Rotisserie Chicken.

Word here is "chicken, green beens, roasted potatoes, etc. to go. … nothing like we have ever had before. Very fresh."

The San Loco closed here between East Ninth Street and East 10th Street back in February. The CB3/SLA Liquor Licensing Committee voted to deny high-profile restaurateurs Ken Friedman and April Bloomfield a license to open a bar cafe here in May.

No word on an opening date for TakeMeHome just yet.

    This is fine, but couldn't we just have our low-maintenance tacos and margaritas back instead? Is there no room left in this neighborhood for "not amazing, but dependable"?

    Anon 5:40 - there's another San Loco on 2nd Ave and plenty other mediocre tacos in this neighborhood for you.

    I'm sorry, but that sign is absolutely hideous.

    I'm excited about this. Mmmm... rotisserie chicken! Hopefully it's cheap-ish and they use humanely raised chickens.

    I think it's cute that anyone thinks they can get "humanely raised chickens" for cheap. You don't care about the welfare of chickens, please stop fronting.

    why does every comment on this blog have to turn negative? Maybe 10:58 does care about chickens...I read that caring about chickens is very "in" today.

    Anon 7:59AM: 2nd Ave San Loco is far from me, and the other taco places in the hood are more expensive and a lot of them cook with lard. No thank you. I want a cheap taco sans lard. Where can I get that cheap in the vicinity of Ave C and 10th Street?

    Anon 11:32AM: Well said.

    If you really cared about chickens you wouldn't eat their corpses.

    If you really care about chickens, you would eat them. If people stopped eating meat, there would be fewer animals. It's eating them that enables them to live to begin with!

    That sign just screams out loud that they're not even trying. If the prices are as cheap as that design is, maybe I'll pop in a few times.

    Just waiting for someone to post how they pick which local businesses to support based on the fonts they use on their signs....
