Signage alert: The restaurant-bar in the works at 309 E. Fifth St.

Signage is up for a new restaurant-bar at 309 E. Fifth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue... Eden shared these shots from the other day...

Last September, Community Board 3 approved a license for an applicant to open a Thai restaurant here under the trade name Ni Yom. (Application here.) Perhaps they decided on a different name for the establishment.

The previous tenant at No. 309, Jiang's Kitchen, closed after ownership opted to relocate to 65 St. Mark's Place and open Jiang's Kitchen in November 2021.
