Ravi DeRossi's vegan bar-restaurant opened at 111 Seventh St. between Avenue A and First Avenue on Sept. 5. Eater has more about the space, which counts musician/animal-rights activist Moby as an investor.

The Lost Lady, from Robert Ceraso and Jason Mendenhall, the co-owners of The Wayland and Good Night Sonny, opened last Wednesday at 171 Avenue C between 10th Street and 11th Street. This marks their third attempt at opening another bar along Avenue C. Plans for both the former Duke's space and current Royale fell through.

The space was originally going to go by The Drift Inn.

"Somebody opened a bar called the Drift Inn in Brooklyn a couple of months after we started working on that space," Ceraso told me earlier this summer. "It actually makes more sense for the space now. Once we got in there and started getting a feel for the bones of the space, our design went a lot more old nautical feeling. The Lost Lady feels to us like it could be the name of an old ship or a story that a fisherman would tell you."

Grub Street has a preview of the Lost Lady here.

  2. So Moby is an animal rights activist? Really?

    What about being a human rights activist and not keeping Ladybird open after 11:00PM on weeknights? This is the first establishment on this block that is open that late.

    I guess humans need to sleep means less than his purported concern for animals.

  3. Moby is sober. He left New York claiming its to expensive and no freedom for artists.

  4. Nice overpriced vegetables and booze. It's a bar. This will be good for new residents and their luxury condos. Trust you me vegetables and alcohol will only cause gas, unconscionable greed and a low libido.

  5. The Lost Lady is appropriate given all the drunk young women who'll now be wandering around Avenue C above Tenth Street looking for their Uber out of the nabe.

  6. So CB3 SLA committee upsets sleep pattern for kids going to school and people working early shift because veggies need to party till 02:00AM on weeknights? Does the Committee actually understand that people work?
