More about David's Cafe, opening soon at 110 St. Mark's Place



The space is shaping up at 110 St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue.

Here's more about the venture and the people behind it via the cafe's website:

David’s Café, in the heart of the East Village, serves French-American food … in a casual environment. Opened by Chef David Malbequi (Les Enfants de Bohème, Summit Bar, BLT, Alum of Daniel Boulud), Daniel Rivera (Crooked Tree, Les Enfants de Bohème), and Hamid Rashidzada (Summit Bar), the restaurant is designed to be a comforting way-post/eatery for neighbors and visitors alike.

Our starting hours are from 5pm to midnight every night and until 1am on the weekends, we’ll be open from lunch and brunch in the coming weeks. Reservations are accepted for parties of six or more, otherwise just come in and grab a seat.

The site notes that all three partners in David's live in the neighborhood.

Paprika, which specialized in Northern Italian cuisine, quietly closed here back in the spring.

  2. Woke up this morning thinking about how much I still miss Coney Island High. So of course the first thing I see this morning had to be about a restaurant opening on St. Mark's.

  3. open facade is not a good sign, more noise pollution of its neighbors.

    I agree. The Community should stop these restaurants from opening the fronts. It's the bandshell effect. The noise from the inside actually gets louder then explodes out the open front. THIS HAS TO STOP.

  6. I'm all for limiting noise, but the words "noise pollution" crack me up. It sounds like a term out of Portlandia skit.

  7. Open windows in the summer during the day is perfectly fine, spaz less.

  8. I have a great idea! Let's make every new restaurant put up completely blacked-out, windowless, sound-proofed facades, so that we cannot experience the venue at all and we do not hear even one peep from within. That way we are guaranteed that they will have no business, shut down soon and make way for another new place you can all complain about!

    Nice, airy, open, inviting places make the neighborhood fun and pleasant to walk around and enjoy. Sheesh.. Relax, people!
