As previously noted, February's CB3-SLA agenda includes an applicant vying for a beer-wine license at 121 St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue.
Here's more about the space via public documents (PDF) at the CB3 website. For starters, Mr. White will serve "New Southern cuisine." (The online application did not include a sample menu.)
The proposed hours are noon to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday; 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Sunday. (The application notes that alcohol service will end at 2 a.m., with the restaurant closing one hour later "to allow the customer to finish his meal.") The configuration shows 10 tables seating 28 patrons, and two bars seating 19 people.
The documents also note that the principals have experience at the Grand National (now the Big Whiskey) and the Whiskey Brooklyn in Williamsburg.
No. 121 was last home to the Belgian Room, which the state seized for nonpayment of taxes in April 2015. (The reconfigured space includes the former Ton-Up Cafe next door.)
The February SLA committee meeting is Monday at 6:30 p.m. Location: The Thelma Burdick Community Room, 10 Stanton St. at the Bowery.
any realtionship to the folks who do Bob White on Avenue C? If so, that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteAnyone remember Mr. Leo's, the old, dark, low-key southern restaurant that used to be on West 27th Street in the 1970s-1980s? Now THAT was good food.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with all this southern food!?!?!? This Yankee just doesn't care for country music or greasy, messy food.
ReplyDeleteAnyone remember the 5 Spot? that was the only good thing happening anywhere between Aves C and D when I grew up there.
ReplyDeleteI thought the 5 Spot was on St. Mark's place?
ReplyDeleteWikipedia says it was at 5 Cooper Square, but who really knows.
