Owners of C as in Charlie and Kisa ink lease at former Ferns space on 1st Avenue

The owners of C as in Charlie and Kisa are expanding their local footprint.

The hospitality group signed a 10-year lease ($24K per month) at 166 First Ave. between 10th Street and 11th Street for an unnamed new Korean concept, according to broker Meridian Capital Group and the Commercial Observer

C as in Charlie opened at 5 Bleecker St., just west of the Bowery, in 2022, while the Korean diner Kisa debuted last year on the SW corner of Allen and Houston. 

The bistro-bar Ferns closed at 166 First Ave. in February after more than seven years in business.

I miss Ferns a lot, but Kisa and C as in Charlie are great spots! I'm happy to hear they took the lease!
