Looks as if one of the recently vacated bar-restaurants on the Bowery will have a new tenant.
Applicants are on this month's CB3-SLA docket for a new liquor license at 355 Bowery, the former Wise Men space between Third Street and Fourth Street.
According to the materials (PDF here) posted on the CB3 website, the applicants for the proposed Short Stories include Danny Teran, who runs several businesses in Bushwick, including Wheelhouse out on Wilson Avenue. (He is apparently known as "The Wolf of Wilson," per this Brokelyn feature.) Williamsburg Pizza investor Ashwin Deshmukh is also listed as one of the applicants.
The menu at Short Stories will feature "a mix of American, Cuban and Mexican fare." (Teran, a Cuban-American, specializes in Cuban cuisine. He also previously ran Millie's Cuban Cafe on Wilson Avenue.)
The application also shows six tables seating 12 diners as well as a 10-seat bar. (There appears to be some additional seating on benches.) The proposed hours are 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. during the week, until 4 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
Wise Men closed last November after five years in business.
And before the Wise Men...

... there was Osaka Vibe/Orange Valve — aka, that kind of weird sushi place on the Bowery.
The CB3-SLA meeting is Monday night at 6:30 in the Public Hotel, 17th Floor, Sophia Room, 215 Chrystie St. between Houston and Stanton.

Speaking of weird sushi, does anyone know what is up with Sushi Dojo on First Ave & 5th St? The guy (owner? chef?)constantly smoking on the stoop really puts me off an I never seen anyone go in there, maybe because of him.
ReplyDeleteGood name for the place. Their time here will be a short story with a sad ending.
