The refurbished space will be home to Bar Bianchi, the latest Golden Age Hospitality property alongside Acme, Le Dive, Monsieur and Lucy's 2.0. (Golden Age is doing this in partnership with Darin Rubell of Paradise Projects.)
According to a job listing for the new establishment, Bar Bianchi is "an Italian-inspired wine bar serving natural wine, an aperitivo-style menu with a full bar specializing in spritzes and negroni variations."
Expect a late spring opening.
Boulton & Watt closed here last July after 11 years. At the time, there was a thought that another Paradise Hospitality (Mister Paradise, Wiggle Room, Pretty Ricky's) project would take over, given this Instagram post: "Stay tuned for some exciting news about a new project in this space; see you all very soon!"
And because someone will post "Bring back Nice Guy Eddie's" in the comments... this space was previously Nice Guy Eddie's. The bar-restaurant with Chico's KISS mural closed in June 2011 after 16 years in service.

I liked Bolton and Watt but I really didn't like how they were allowed to take over the entire sidewalk area up to the planters. It made what was otherwise a very wide sidewalk, very very narrow. I hope this location still gets to do outdoor seating, but that they're required to allow for space to walk by on that side.
The graffiti in NYC is spreading like covid during the pandemic!
That annoyed the shit out of me too. Theirs is no oversight with these restaurants since the pandemic, they do whatever they want. Even the A-Frame signs which everyone seems to have now - in the middle of the sidewalk or at the curb instead of against the business, drives me crazy.
