Last Tuesday we noted the fake menu for a restaurant called Chickens (Chicken Dip with Chicken Chips!) on the former Dirt Candy space on East Ninth Street.
Now a tipster passes along word what might really be coming here between Avenue A and First Avenue: A quick-serve vegetarian sandwich shop ... with a tentative June opening date.
Dirt Candy closed here at the end of last August to move to a larger space on Allen Street.
Dirt Candy chef Amanda Cohen confirmed to us last week that she had sold the small space that housed her vegetarian restaurant, but couldn't elaborate on the new venture.

Spoiler Alert: the name of the new vegetarain restaurant is Just Lettuce.
Gio, and here I thought it was Lettuce Pray!
Don't quit your day jobs.
@Gojira: Lettuce Pray that we get a few more good vegetarian restaurants in the neighborhood! I went to Dojo West last week, the Soy Burger dinner is still delicious.
Better be some good fuckin sandwiches, because I'm holding a grudge. I hate bad overwrought jokes a la "Chickens".
Sounds good. The neighborhood needs more vegetarian options.

Gio, I still miss the Dojo on St. Mark's Place...good to know the soy burgers are still on the menu on the west side.
Please let this rumor be true!
