Zee's Pet Shop closed up here on Avenue B just south of East 10th Street last spring. Now there's an applicant with designs on opening a 30-seat cafe-tapas bar with a retail component. The applicants will appear before the CB3/SLA committee this month.
Reps for Donostia (EV Cafe LLC), 155 Avenue B, filed an application on the CB3 website for a beer-wine license. Here's what we know from looking at the document online (PDF):
• The proposed hours are 10 a.m. to midnight.
• Listed food: "Spanish tapas, sandwiches, salads, meats, cheeses, etc."
• "The principal has worked as an employee a several fine dining establishments including Craft, db Bistro Moderne, Estiatorio Milos."
