Saluté proposed for 9th Street

Applicants for a new bar-restaurant called Saluté are on tonight's CB3-SLA committee docket for licensing at 214 E. Ninth St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue...



The questionnaire on file (PDF here) at the CB3 website for public viewing shows that Saluté will have nine tables accommodating 50 people as well as two bars in the lower level. The proposed hours are 5 p.m to 2 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday; until 4 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.

These applicants have never been licensed before, though they do have restaurant experience. (The questionnaire has their résumés.)

The questionnaire also includes a section titled "noise management plan" ... it helpfully notes that the bar portion of the place is in the basement "so any noise will not directly be heard on the ground level"



No word in the plan on what happens when their patrons reach the sidewalk.

There's also a sample menu...



The previous tenant here. Dahlia's Tapas Wine Bar, shut down in December 2016.

Meanwhile, next door... the hair salon Hoshi Coupe II packed up and relocated to Chelsea...

Former Dahlia's Tapas Wine Bar space for lease on 9th Street

The for lease sign has arrived at the former Dahlia's Tapas Wine Bar on Ninth Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.

The restaurant quietly shut down in December.

The owners also operated Dahlia’s, the Mexican restaurant on Second Avenue and Fifth Street that the SLA busted for allegedly serving 50 minors in January 2016. The restaurant closed in May. The owners tried again with 100% Healthy Blend (or maybe just Healthy Blend) in the space last September. They closed after three months. That space is also on the rental market.

Dahlia's Tapas Wine Bar appears closed for good

Last week, we noted that Dahlia's Tapas Wine Bar at 214 E. Ninth St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue had been closed of late during posted business hours.

A look inside yesterday reveals an interior in disarray ...



There aren't any signs up for patrons about a closure... and no one answers the phone.

Dahlia's Tapas Wine Bar has been dark of late

Several EVG readers have noted a lack of activity of late at Dahlia's Tapas Wine Bar, 214 E. Ninth St.

The cafe between Second Avenue and Third Avenue has not been open during posted hours in recent nights while the phone kicks into a generic message about not having a voicemail box (or voice mailbox) set up.

Its sister restaurant, Dahlia’s Fine Mexican Cuisine on Second Avenue at Fifth Street, was busted by the SLA after serving a reported 50 minors one night in January. The Mexican restaurant then closed in May.

The owners replaced it with 100% Healthy Blend (or maybe just Healthy Blend), which closed after three months.
