Temporary closures: Unidentified Flying Chickens on 3rd Ave.; Spice on 1st Avenue


[Photo from June 7]

Over at 60 Third Ave. near East 11th Street, Unidentified Flying Chickens has been closed the past 10 days or so… the sign points to a ceiling repair, which appears to be happening inside…



The East Village outpost of the Jackson Heights-based Korean fried chicken restaurant opened last July. However, they won't be in this space too much longer: The address will be home soon to another location of Blockheads, the San Francisco-style Mexican restaurant from the folks who launched Benny's Burritos.

Meanwhile, Spice, which only recently opened at 71 First Ave. between East Fourth Street and East Fifth Street, is out of commission for the moment… the sign says Spice is upgrading its gas lines…

The Spice on Second Avenue and East Sixth Street is now closed… so if you want your Spice fix you'll have to get it at the East 13th Street and University Place location for now.

No. 71 here was previously home to Pukk, the 11-year-old vegetarian/vegan Thai place that closed in March.

    Too bad Harry's Burritos didn't jump on this location for a return to the East Village :(

    I used to get a giant vegetarian burrito (I'm not vegetarian) for lunch at Harry's many a Saturday 1990 on. I swear that thing was calorically breakfast and lunch rolled into one it was so big. It definitely kept me full until dinner and energized well into the night.
