It looks as if a change of ownership is coming to the northeast corner of First Avenue and St. Mark's Place — current home of Simone Martini Bar.
According to paperwork (PDF) on file at the CB3 website ahead of this month's SLA licensing meeting, Jason Mendenhall and Robert Ceraso, the proprietors of the Wayland, are the applicants for the space.
The application shows that the pair are planning for a "tavern/seafood-style menu" available during all open hours, which are listed as 2 p.m. to 4 a.m. Monday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. They also plan on a sidewalk cafe, which Simone had.
The Wayland, which specializes in cocktails and craft beers, opened on East Ninth Street and Avenue C in January 2012. (They expanded the space with new food options early last year.)
The change here will also officially bring an end to Yaffa Cafe, Simone's sister restaurant that closed nearby at 97 St. Mark's Place earlier in the fall. After the closure, some items from Yaffa were added to Simone's menu.
