According to public records and posted notices, reps for the hospitality group (they're behind Dhamaka in the Essex Market and Adda Indian Canteen in Long Island City) will appear before Community Board 3's SLA committee next Monday, July 15. (Questionnaire PDF here.)
The application for the unnamed Indian concept shows proposed daily hours of noon to 2 a.m., with plans for a small sidewalk cafe and several tables on a back patio within the property line.
Unapologetic also operates the fried-chicken outpost, Rowdy Rooster, at 149 First Ave. at Ninth Street, and the Filipino restaurant Naks, 201 First Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street.
Huertas closed last August after 10 years in service. The building had a new landlord, and chef Jonah Miller said he could not agree to "suitable terms" for a new lease.
Reps for Paulie Gee's Slice Shop looked at this space late last year, though those plans didn't move forward.
The July 15 SLA meeting starts at 6:30. Find the Zoom link at this link.
This is a hybrid meeting, and there is limited seating available for the public — the first 15 people who show up at the Community Board 3 Office, 59 E. Fourth St. between Second Avenue and the Bowery.

Good informative article and exchange. Thanks EV and Susan Stetzer.
Curious if this will be the kebab concept that was supposed to be rolled out a few years ago around the time they opened Rowdy Rooster. I walked by the location where the Kebab spot was supposed to open last summer in case they had opened and it looked no where near ready to be opened. Possible they pivoted to a new location. Indian style kebabs would be a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
