Soothsayer is hiring on Avenue A
And at 171 Avenue A, work continues on the conversion of the former B.A.D. Burger space between East 10th Street and East 11th Street ... which will soon be a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant called Soothsayer.
The restaurant, run by siblings Stephan and Kimxuan Brezinsky who grew up in Stuy Town, is currently hiring...
Back in July, Soothsayer upset a few neighbors after asking for support for a full liquor license and use of the back patio. Soothsayer reportedly withdrew its application at the July CB3/SLA meeting.
In September, CB3 OK'd a beer-wine license without use of the outdoor space. The proprietors also agreed to hours of 5:30 p.m. to midnight during the week, with opening hours of noon on Saturday and Sunday.
Soothsayer has a website (no menu posted just yet) here.

They have DOB permits for demolition and renovation of eating/drinking establishment. Of course they were denied by CB3 while other establishments who have done renovations without permits have been approved by CB3. Go figure.
I live next door and I give this place a year, tops.
More pho places to walk by to get to other pho places.
I'm predicting success based on the conversations I've heard in my store between the owners, GM, and staff ( They've been using TSB as a makeshift office.) From what I have picked up, they are determined to be a neighborhood spot as opposed to a destination spot. They are going to keep their prices low and also focus on delivery business. They seem like good down to earth people. I hope they make it. Each new successful imdi business on Ave A helps to sustain the existing businesses, creates more jobs, and feeds the local economy.
