Openings: Cafe Skye on 14th Street

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy 

Cafe Skye just opened a second outpost ... this time in the East Village. 

The neighborhood bar-café is now up and running at 520 E. 14th St., between Avenue A and Avenue B. The original Cafe Skye debuted in 2021 on Clinton Street on the Lower East Side.

Pictured above is owner Cameron Bean, who opened the concept with his wife, Caitlin. 

Cafe Skye offers wines, beer, cocktails and bar food (menu), with a mix of public hours and private events. 

Here's a look at the 14th Street space (formerly Dua Kafe)...

... and bartender Lexi Walicke

Public hours are Wednesday through Friday from 4-7 p.m., with additional hours reserved for private bookings.

EVG Etc.: Updates on A10 Kitchen, Burgerhead, Kikoo Sushi, Cafe Skye

A tipster tells us that A10 Kitchen reopened last night. New owners took over the bistro on Avenue A between 10th Street and 11th Street... and closed for renovations for a few weeks.

A10 first opened in the fall of 2020.

Also from the EVG tipline: We're told that the Burgerhead outpost on the NW corner of Second Avenue and Ninth Street will be opening around Labor Day. 

Signage was first spotted last December, and there wasn't a lot of activity here earlier in the year. 

This will be the second Manhattan spot for the brand that sells burgers, chili dogs, fried chicken sandwiches, etc.

A for-lease sign arrived yesterday for a retail space on the lower level of 325 E. 10th St. 

The listing via Meridian Capital Group states it is "perfect for any dry use" here between Avenue A and Avenue B. So you'll need to look elsewhere to open an illegal after-hours joint!

Steven points out that Kikoo Sushi on First Avenue between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street is closed for a "glow up" (aka renovations). Per the signage, they'll reopen in October.

The owners of Cafe Skye on Clinton Street are seeking a beer-wine license (application here) for the small space between Avenue A and Avenue B. 

They are among just a handful of applicants on a light docket for Community Board 3's SLA committee meeting tonight. Details here. 

No. 520 was previously Dua Kafe.
