Spicy Moon preps new Bowery space with some hot pink

The owners of Spicy Moon, the vegan Szechuan restaurant with outposts in both the East Village and West Village, are opening a new space at 265-267 Bowery just south of Houston. (The owners also operate the three locations of Han Dynasty.) 

In February, they received approval from Community Board 3 for a liquor license for the ambitious-sounding new project. The owners plan to use the brewing equipment left behind by the former two tenants — Belse (closed in late 2022) and Paulaner (closed in early 2018). 

According to their application (PDF here), this Spicy Moon will feature 41 tables with 170 seats and a 16-seat bar. They are also planning on a breakfast service (no alcohol served for the morning hours). 

No word yet on an opening date... the interior is shaping up rather quickly, though. The exterior is also changing as workers painted the storefront pink as a base this past week ahead of any Spicy Moon signage.

    Makes my day. For my money Spicy Moon is not just the best vegan restaurant in NYC, it's the best period. Uniquely and supremely delicious, cool vibe, and sustainable/humane i.e. vegan.🥳
