While they hired specialty contractors when needed, there they were, day after day, week after week, doing most of the work themselves.<br />As noted earlier in the blog, a great many establishments have tried -and failed- at this location. My neighbors and I would appreciate a degree of permanence and the commitment they have shown through all the work they have personally performed, gives us some much-needed comfort that they are here to stay.<br />More than that, they have also shown a true commitment to being involved in the community by freely offering food, drink and even their space to local community organizations.<br />The performance of ConEd has been particularly troubling. I am personally aware their current projection for completing the work needed is 6 months!<br />Still, they are trying their best to stay alive and absent any verifiable complaints about their establishment, I am willing to offer my support and ask folks to take a deep breath and give them a chance.EightBCD@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-85180450508595520622017-06-29T13:50:02.088-04:002017-06-29T13:50:02.088-04:00Went last night.

Had some tasty cocktails including the slushy which they onlu had one of. <br /><br />Looks like a pretty classy place with cocktails in the $12+ range. Food menu was very minimal, but most in our party had the chicken parm sandwich, which all enjoyed. Would return back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-20552527110976841492017-06-24T13:51:49.785-04:002017-06-24T13:51:49.785-04:00Unfortunately once again, CB3 voted to deny the ap...Unfortunately once again, CB3 voted to deny the application of this place, but the SLA gave them the license anyway. Croman wins because he gets to keep the ungodly rent money these guys are paying for this space to sell slushies to kidults who swarm the neighborhood and provide no benefits to the community.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-80212300945558226272017-06-22T11:24:37.643-04:002017-06-22T11:24:37.643-04:00right across the street from a police station will...right across the street from a police station will "ruin" the mother's ruin vibe here...

Open facade for starters means loud music and loud voices blaring day and night. (I wish the city would ban open front restaurants and bars). The spot in Nolita may be for yuppies but this place will be for the younger and more drunken frat and sorority customers. I'm sure the Pizza was a ruse to get a liquor licenses, waiting for ConEd to turn on the gas, lol. The only positive thing I will add is at least the vomit on Ave C will be red to pink depending on the variety of pizza their customers wolf down.

Mother's Ruin is absolutely deafening at peak hours, with no help from the tin ceiling. Hopefully they'll think about the acoustics with this new venture.Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-29457059166729391082017-06-22T08:26:11.229-04:002017-06-22T08:26:11.229-04:00I think I will try the place before condemning it ...I think I will try the place before condemning it in the comments section of a blog.
