Signage is up now for Ando Patisserie at 214 E. 10th St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. 

We're told this will be an Asian-inspired bakery that will also serve a variety of teas. There's an Instagram account here.

Meanwhile, signage is up at 120 1/2 First Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place for Unique Omakase. 

Restaurant reps were scheduled to appear before CB3's SLA committee back on Monday for a liquor license. 

According to the questionnaire, Unique Omakase will have an 11-seat sushi bar with daily hours of noon to 11 p.m. The sushi chef here previously worked at Shinn East on Seventh Street between Avenue A and First Avenue. 

An outpost of the London-based Bubbleology Tea chain was the last tenant here, closing in late 2021 after nearly two years in service.

Previously, the building's landlord, convicted felon Steve Croman, didn't/wouldn't renew the lease of the International Bar ... which closed in November 2017 before merging with the Coal Yard down the block.
