From the "whatever happened to..." files — Taverna East Village.
Taverna has been closed since at least early December 2024 at 228 First Ave. between 13th Street and 14th Street.
According to a patron at the time, 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.
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."
That's a helluva kitchen renovation.
The rolldown gates have remained down since then... except a time last May when they were open. Google still lists the restaurant as "temporarily closed." They did not respond to an Instagram message seeking comment on Taverna's status.
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 in June 2024.
