Workers yesterday erected plywood around 131 Avenue A, the former 10 Degrees Bistro and Flea Market Cafe between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street.
Back in December, CB3 OK'd a beer-wine license for the owners of Shoolbred's and Kingston Hall (and formerly Ninth Ward) on Second Avenue. The CB3 meeting notes refer to the new establishment as "a New Orleans Cajun restaurant." (Per the meeting notes, the applicants were seeking a full-liquor license; they also faced opposition from several nearby block associations.)
The space has been sitting dormant in recent months. There had reportedly been gas issues in the building, which ultimately led to the eviction/closure of next-door neighbors Nino's and Yoshi Sushi. Perhaps landlord Citi Urban has those gas issues resolved.

As Ave A evolves (or devolves) in a bro paradise filled with loud "restaurants" which happen to have several large TV's showing some sporting event continually, I have little faith that a restaurant serving anything more sophisticated than sliders and nachos will open here.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the gas issues are settled now that there is the possibility of getting in tenants paying twice as much.
ReplyDeleteWould like a reasonable, good Cajun restaurant around.
ReplyDeleteI miss Baby Jake's catfish poboy.
Still no gas.
ReplyDeleteThe landlords are evil.
ReplyDeleteI hope the Muffuletta's are better than they were at Ninth Ward.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion it says something about the character of the owners of this "restaurant" that they would sign a lease with Jonas Realty when the residents of the building have been without gas for a year. Time for people to stop doing business with these type of landlords.
ReplyDeleteMost landlords in NYC are evil, especially in Manhattan. They are greedy and merciless assholes who probably takes baths in a tub of cash every night. Fuck, I wish I invested in property or had inherited something from family who actually had money.
