Whiteout at the former Sidewalk



A lot of people wrote in over the weekend to note that workers painted the exterior of the former Sidewalk Bar and Restaurant on Avenue A and Sixth Street.

And photos to show that fresh coat of white paint...





As we've been reporting, a new bar-restaurant is in the works for the ground floor. The Sidewalk, with a long-standing open-mic night, closed in February after 32-plus years in business.

Laura Saniuk-Heinig, one of the restaurant space's new co-owners, did not respond to an email from Friday seeking more information about the new venture.

  1. Over/under 48 hours before this is totally covered in graffiti?

  2. I suspect a primer only or the block will be getting some awesome new tags.

  4. It's going to look like a 70's subway car by morning.
