Yesterday, TabeTomo announced they would return to service next Wednesday, Oct. 16. 

The tskumen specialty shop has been closed since an early morning fire upstairs from the restaurant at 131 Avenue A on April 24. According to ABC 7, five residents sustained minor injuries while fleeing the six-floor building on the NW corner of St. Mark's Place. Firefighters recovered a lithium-ion battery from a unit, per ABC 7.

During a tour of the gutted space on May 17, owner Tomo Kubo told EVG's Stacie Joy the space needed a complete gut renovation, with workers stripping the walls down to the studs. 

"There was no fire damage — all the damage was water," he said in May. "Between the ceiling and the second floor, there was much damage to the wood, which could warp." 

TabeTomo also announced some opening specials on Instagram...
