Can you Dig it? A new concept for a fast-casual chain on 4th Avenue & 13th Street

After a weeks-long closure for renovations, the Dig outpost has reopened on the SE corner of Fourth Avenue and 13th Street... it's now going as Dig on 4th...
When it reopens this morning at 11, you'll find a different kind of Dig (per the signage)...
Aside from some new menu items, there's now a dining room... and beer and wine. 
Here are some more details via the EVG inbox (aka press release):
The pandemic sparked an increased penchant for nostalgic dishes—meals that are comforting yet healthy, classic with a slight twist. This shift influenced the Dig on 4th menu, which will feature a mix of Dig favorites and new dishes such as a Meatball Parm Sandwich, Broccoli Melt, Chili Crisp Tofu Bowl, and Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. 

All sandwiches will be served with their signature homemade focaccia, a recipe inspired by the group’s full-service restaurant, 232 Bleecker. Daily “Sheet Tray Specials” like Lemon Chicken Dinner for Two and Farmer’s Market Specials will allow chefs to be creative and utilize the in-season produce from the nearby Union Square Greenmarket. Prices will remain affordable, with unlimited self-service drip coffee for $2 and $4 beers and $8.50 glasses of wine.
Dig — still going as Dig Inn at the time — debuted in this storefront in November 2019. This outpost remained closed during the pandemic until November 2021.

    I like the retro Deco gas station vibe.

    It just wouldn't be food without a flood of fucking alcohol.

      What’s your problem? It’s not a bar to get shitfaced. If people want to sit down and have a meal, chances are they’d like a glass of beer or wine. Calm the fuck down.
