As No. 320 turns: 5 restaurants have come and gone in this space in 1 year



It appears is if 320 E. Sixth St. is without a restaurant again... the gates have been down here between First Avenue and Second Avenue on recent weekends...



This past summer, Mazmaza was the latest restaurant to try the space... taking over from Amoun Moroccan Mediterranean Cuisine & Lounge, which relocated here from the Upper East Side.

There has been a lot of changes at No. 320 since September 2016, when Zerza announced it was closing for renovations. It turned into 'Merica, co-founded by Zach Neil, an owner of the Tim Burton-themed Beetle House as well as the now-closed Stay Classy on Rivington Street. 'Merica, which aspired to satirize the "real America," closed after three weeks in business... with Zerza returning to service for several months.

    Rich young guys like to play with their toys, get bored then buy new ones.

    Cafe Mogador a few blocks away pretty much has the market cornered as far as Moroccan cuisine is concerned.

    Foot traffic is way down on this block. As one Indian restaurant after another is either forced out by high rents or owners move, the block has become a small haven for unusual Asian restaurants which have minimal draw. Nobody discovers this block anymore....and we residents are thankful for the disappearing curry odor that hung over the street for so many years.
