Last month, the folks behind Shorty’s Authentic Philly Steaks & Sandwiches had designs on opening their fifth NYC location at 58 Third Ave. between East 10th Street and East 11th Street.
However, Team Shorty's withdrew their proposal ahead of the October CB3-SLA committee meeting. Now, there's a new applicant for the space, which, until July, housed the Thai restaurant Bodhi Tree.
There aren't many details on the application (PDF!) filed ahead of this month's CB3-SLA committee meeting on Nov. 16. The restaurant is going by the name of Mulan East with posted hours of 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; until 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
The configuration shows 17 tables good for 46 seats and well as a service bar with four seats. According to the paperwork, the two principals, listed as Ling Xia He and Yung Ping Wong, have not previously held a liquor license. They are seeking a beer-wine license for this space.
In other applicant news this month, the plan to convert the now-closed NatureEs juice bar/wellness center on East First Street into a Spanish bistro appears to be on hold. The applicants have withdrawn from the November CB3-SLA meeting.

Shorty's eyeing former Bodhi Tree space on 3rd Avenue
The folks behind Shorty’s Authentic Philly Steaks & Sandwiches are planning to open their fifth NYC location at 58 Third Ave. between East 10th Street and East 11th Street.
According to the application (PDF!) on file at the CB3 website ahead of this month's SLA committee meeting, the bar-restaurant would be open 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. seven days a week. The paperwork shows a configuration with 19 tables — good for 34 seats, and a bar with a 10-seat capacity.
There are currently Shorty's located on Madison Avenue in the Flatiron District, Pearl Street in the Financial District, First Avenue on the Upper East Side and the first location, which opened in 2006, on Ninth Avenue by Port Authority.
Here's New York magazine with a rundown of the Ninth Avenue location:
And!

The SLA committee meeting is Oct. 19 at the CB3 office, 59 E. Fourth St. between Second Avenue and the Bowery.

Here's New York magazine with a rundown of the Ninth Avenue location:
[T]he sports-bar-like space—glammed up with red walls and chrome tables—features 20 brews on tap and several plasma TVs, making it a convenient place to catch a post-work game. But the main attraction is the thinly sliced sirloin cheesesteak served in true Philadelphia fashion: on a freshly baked hoagie (shipped in from Philly) with fried onions and plenty of cheese. You can choose provolone, American, or the classic Whiz. Other guilt-inducing menu options include the roast pork special, burgers, and sides like cheese fries, fried mozzarella triangles, and wings.
And!
Just don’t expect to have a quiet conversation: In addition to simultaneous sports-game screenings, a D.J. spins from his laptop.

Bodhi Tree closes on 3rd Avenue
The Thai restaurant at 58 Third Ave. between East 10th Street and East 11th Street shut down late last week … and a for lease sign has already arrived in the front window.
The proprietors ran two other places in Brooklyn, both of which are closed now as we understand it.
Bodhi Tree opened in the spring of 2009 … the space was previously home to the worst Taco Bell in America.*
The building at 58 Third Ave. remains on the market. The listing notes that "the building currently has 6,308 sq ft, but an additional 4,786 sq ft. may be added."
