Dan and John's is nearly ready to debut their new dining room next door to their current take-out location at 135 First Ave. here between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street,

Co-owner John Henninger recently told me that they were hoping to be open by Friday. They were just waiting for the new license from the SLA.

The expanded space will have at least 10 tables as well as a bar seating six people. (The current Dan and John's just has a few stools, and operates mostly as a take out and delivery operation.)

Dan and John's opened on First Avenue in October 2015. They are also regulars on the Smorgasburg circuit and last year started selling their wings at Citi Field for Mets game.

The space next door had been empty since March 2017 when Rustico, the cafe that specialized in crêpes and Italian coffee, closed.
