Upcoming restaurant openings: French for 7th Street; Italian for 2nd Avenue

Last night's CB3-SLA docket included beer-wine applications for two incoming restaurants. Committee members didn't hear either item at the meeting, as the applicants agreed to stipulations in advance ... and because both applicants will be operating actual restaurants and not places disguised as bars. Here's a quick look ...

A French restaurant called Papilles is in the works for 117 E. Seventh St. between Avenue A and First Avenue...



This is at the former Le Village, which quietly closed back in November.



The 10-table restaurant will be open daily from 11 a.m. to midnight. The proprietor has management experience at Mominette in Bushwick, among other places. You can find a PDF of the application (sample menu included) here.

Meanwhile, an Italian restaurant called Daniela Mia is set for 58 Second Ave. between Third Street and Fourth Street...



The 17-table restaurant will have serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, with daily hours of 9 a.m. to midnight. You can find a sample of their extensive menu of pasta, pizza and grilled fish here. There's also a variety of egg dishes served for breakfast and brunch.

Previously, N'eat, which offered "new Nordic fare," had a nearly 8-month-run at the address... they posted a sign on the front door last July stating "Due to unforeseen building issues, we have to close temporarily for maintenance work." And they never returned.

Before N'eat, Cellar 58 served Italian fare here.

    Two things-

    There is a lot of work happening in the former Le Souk space- vacant for years now. Some thing something Fish Market LLC, but surely a restaurant and not an actual fish market?

    I heard a Home Depot is going into the former Post Office space on 14th....

    I might be old school but I wish restaurants would state with signage which cuisine they serve even if it is simply comfort American food. I love Scandinavian food but had zero idea that's what N'eat was serving and I use to walk by that place nearly everyday.

      They had a menu up on their door since they opened. From the reviews online, they didn’t have an exhaust fan so the room was smoky and the staff not very friendly.

    Lower 2nd ave is like a graveyard for restaurant dreams.
