Signs of life at Taverna East Village

An employee spotted at Taverna East Village stated that the Greek restaurant would reopen in a few weeks. 

With the open gates this past week, this was the first activity we've noticed here in months.

Taverna has been closed since at least early December at 228 First Ave. between 13th Street and 14th Street. According to a patron in December, the Greek restaurant was closed without any notice to the public until a sign later arrived noting the closure due to a "required Con Edison" inspection. The rolldown gates remained down. 

Meanwhile, the restaurant's website still notes: "We are currently closed due to a Kitchen Renovation project. We are working very hard to reopen as soon as possible." 

The outpost of Astoria's favorite Taverna Kyclades opened in the fall of 2013. However, ownership changed hands, and the name change to Taverna East Village was made public last June.
