North River looks to be going as The Nite Owl now on 1st Avenue


[Photo from last weekend]

Back on Wednesday, we noted that North River at 166 First Ave. just north of East 10th Street was closed for renovations.

There were't any other details about what was in store for the restaurant serving American-style comfort food from chef Adam Starowicz, who spent time at Momofuku Ko and Hearth. (The sign on the door simply said that changes were afoot.)

Now, however, a new sign is up for — The Nite Owl ...



There isn't any mention of the new venture, which sounds decidedly more nightlife-focused, on North River's website or social media properties.

    I wonder what this means for Dead Drop, the cocktail bar in the basement?

    I like this name better. And it's always been sweet to walk by the owl painting on the gate.

    Today they had a sign that they were selling 20 round tables and 10 tall wooden chairs, so it seems a fair guess to think this is going to be less restaurant than north river.
