There's a lot of activity these days at 211 First Ave. between 12th Street and 13th Street.
Signage is up for Drāvida Indian Diaspora, a new concept from Aarthi Sampath, a consultant and chef known for her multiple TV appearances on "Guy's Grocery Games," "Chopped" and "Beat Bobby Flay."
We don't know too much about the new project... the restaurant received CB3 approval for a liquor license last September. (Questionnaire here.)
It's a smallish dining room with four tables that seat 20 people. (We're assuming there will be a to-go component as well, as Sampath is involved with CookUnity, which delivers prepared meals weekly.) Proposed hours on the CB3 application were daily from 3 p.m. to midnight.
The space has been vacant since Luzzo's closed here in 2022.
