We noted last month that Fire & Water, East Village restaurateur Ravi DeRossi's attempt to veganize sushi and dim sum, had closed at 111 E. Seventh St.
Looks as if he figured out what he wants to do with the space here between Avenue A and First Avenue.
DeRossi is on CB3's SLA docket tonight for a beer-wine license for a vegan Indian restaurant called Night Music (to pair with his restaurant Ladybird right next door), per the questionnaire posted on the CB3 website. (This item will not be heard this evening, as DeRossi agreed to CB3's stipulations in advance.)
The restaurant, seating 44 guests, will be open daily from 5 p.m. to midnight. No word on an opening date just yet.
Updated 6 p.m.
DeRossi shared a logo for the restaurant. (We also had the name wrong — it's Night Music...)

How many new restaurants have we seen in this spot over the last few years? I lost count.
At least vegan Indian makes more sense than vegan sushi 🙄
I'm annoyed that he was not allowed to open a restaurant at the Bar Virage spot at 6th St. and 2nd Ave.

What doesn't make sense about vegan sushi? Rice is not an animal, last I checked.
Sushi is fish, bro. maybe you didn't know?

Sorry, but incorrect. Sushi is the rice. Prepared vinegared rice, to be exact. It can be paired with various seafoods, vegetables, eggs (chicken or roe) and sometimes tropical fruits. All wrapped in nori. This makes the complete dish known as sushi, but it is nothing without the rice.
Therefore, "vegan" sushi makes absolute sense since vegetarian sushi already exists.
When it is just the raw fish without the rice, then it is sashimi.
