Baron's Dim Sum gives way to Tasty Garden on 6th Street

After just a few months in business, Baron's Dim Sum has closed at 518 Sixth St. here between Avenue A and Avenue B. Paper arrived on the front windows a few weeks back... and a new name and concept has arrived in the form of Tasty Garden...



..which is also going to offer a variety of dumplings as well as spicy wontons, per the signage. (Not sure if Baron's just switched up names or if new operators took over. The phone numbers are different.)

No. 518 has been home to a number of quickly-closing businesses in recent years ...including a psychic... and an organic dry cleaner/cafe.

Baron's Dim Sum slated for 6th Street

Coming soon to 518 Sixth St.: Baron's Dim Sum. The signage arrived this week here between Avenue A and Avenue B ... a few storefronts away from Josie's.

We don't know any more about the operation other than what's on the sign. Perhaps it will be a good, inexpensive to-go option.

On this topic of dim sum and dumplings, I've found the food at Carma East, which opened back in September, to be solid. Never eaten in the dining room, just had it to go or delivered.

As for No. 518, it was last home to a psychic... and an organic dry cleaner/cafe.
