We have a partial signage reveal at 40 Avenue B.
The mailbox now lists the new business name, Wine Art Laboratory, between Third and Fourth Streets, which recently signed a lease for the storefront.
The space is expected to become a wine-and-art bar, focusing on vino from around the world.
That would mark a reset for No. 40, which has had a rocky run of tenants in recent years — from the good, like Fonda (RIP 2020), to the more problematic. El Carnaval, a notoriously loud Panamanian restaurant and bar, was accused of serving liquor without a license in the summer of 2021 (and caught on video).
Dora's Restaurant followed with similar allegations, plus DJs playing to largely empty rooms. In October 2024, Community Board 3 reported 24 commercial 311 complaints tied to Dora's, with seven requiring NYPD response.
Anyway! Welcome, Wine Art Laboratory!
