Moim Hospitality LLC — led by chef-owner Sechul Yang, whose résumé includes working in the kitchens at Gramcery Tavern, Oiji Mi and Maialino — will appear before CB3's SLA Committee tonight to request a beer-and-wine license for the address.
According to the application materials, the yet-to-be-named spot is proposed as a Korean-Italian restaurant, serving daily from 10 a.m. to midnight Sunday-Wednesday and until 1 a.m. Thursday–Saturday.
The plans show 12 tables, a 10-seat bar, and a full kitchen offering handmade pastas, Korean dishes and a mix of small plates.
The applicant notes that alcohol service will include a small, curated wine list, beer, and house-infused soju, and that "alcohol is always secondary to food," with the restaurant pledging to follow all SLA and CB3 guidelines regarding hours, noise and usage.
On the application, Yang said he aims to create a "quiet, community-oriented neighborhood restaurant" geared toward local residents and families.
Black Seed had retained much of the charm of its predecessor, DeRobertis Pasticceria and Caffè, the family-run bakery that occupied the space for 110 years before closing in December 2014.
Hopefully, the new operators will do the same.
Tonight's meeting is at 6:30. The Zoom link is here. This is a hybrid meeting, and limited seating is available for the public — the first 15 people who show up at the Community Board 3 Office, 59 E. Fourth St., between Second Avenue and the Bowery.
