Former Rainbow Music shop will be a Chinese restaurant



There was a partial reveal yesterday at the under-renovation 130 First Ave., the former Rainbow Music just south of St. Mark's Place...

A worker confirmed to EVG correspondent Steven that a Chinese restaurant is opening here soon, though didn't provide further details...



Rainbow Music owner Bill "Birdman" Kasper retired and closed up his cluttered used-CD shop in September 2015.

    How great would it be if it was just a cheap, non-gourmet Chinese joint along the lines of Tasty King or Fei Ma, instead of some hip, culturally-outre, overpriced destination eaterie? What are the chances, I wonder?
