We received a tip
last month that the Four Four South Village chain was opening an outpost at 11 E. Seventh St. just east of Cooper Square.
That has since been
confirmed ... and as the top photo shows, workers have been building curbside dining for the restaurant that specializes in Taiwanese beef noodles. (Find their menu
here.) No word on an opening date.
As previously noted, No. 11 was home to Surma Books & Music for 98 years until June 2016. Third-generation owner Markian Surmach cited a decline in business and the expense of property tax and other charges related to owning the building. Public records show that the Surmach family sold the property to Icon Realty for $5.75 million at the time.
