The closing arrives as demolition looms for six buildings on the west side of the avenue between 10th Street and 11th Street.
Despite being on a desolate-looking stretch of Third Avenue with neighboring boarded-up retail spaces, TLK cheerfully remained in service this year mid-block, offering solid, veggie-friendly cuisine.
Owner Michelle Morgan's menu draws inspiration from her mother, who was born in Hong Kong, and her travels throughout Asia.
In announcing the closing date on Instagram, TLK also reported that they will continue with delivery and catering along with a pop-up dinner residency this fall on the Lower East Side (you can follow their Instagram account for updates)...
The restaurant opened here in late 2021.
TLK opens today and tomorrow at 2 p.m. (Reservations here.)
As we first reported, a residential complex is expected to rise along this parcel — 50-64 Third Ave.
Only one building will remain on the block after the demolition — 48 Third Ave., the 5-story property owned by Isfahany Realty Corp. on the northwest corner of 10th Street with Healthy Greens Gourmet in the retail space.
We'll have more about the development on Monday.
So sad all these stores and restaurants being forced to close. I really miss Kotobuki.
ReplyDeleteThey still deliver!
DeleteLove TLK! I hope they find a new home in our neighborhood
ReplyDeleteI’m sorry, six buildings in the east village are being destroyed? How does that happen? This not only seems extreme, but wasteful and completely unnecessary. Why aren’t our representatives protesting over this and biting police officers?
ReplyDeleteApparently it was a Canadian outfit that bought up the block. The bodega is still there. TLK had been fighting to stay. I hope they relocate soon. Really amazing people. The demo is going to fuck up that whole stretch. Moxy better up their exterminator visits…woof.
