Coming soon to Fourth Avenue: Glaze Teriyaki Grill

A second outpost of the Glaze Teriyaki Grill is opening here on Fourth Avenue near 13th Street... (the flagship location is at Lexington near 54th Street...) The website describes the food as "Seattle-Style Teriyaki."

And more from the website:

Locally sourced, farm fresh, all natural and organic
From New York and Maine to New Jersey and Pennsylvania, we source our produce locally and bring it in FRESH EVERYDAY (we are just that awesome!). Our farm-fresh ingredients are always all natural and we do our best to use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Oh, met to post this the other day... spotted along Fourth Avenue near 12th Street...

Meanwhile, traffic on Third Avenue will be a little dicey until 1 p.m.

Summer Streets start up today... today, next Saturday and Aug. 20 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. So Fourth Avenue is closed to vehicles...

...and the fuzz NYPD have the side streets blocked off along Third Avenue ...

Street fair! Street fair! Street fair!

From Astor Place to East 14th Street. Or maybe it's the other way around...

Mini Christmas tree fire on Fourth Avenue

Walking along Fourth Avenue near 11th Street this morning... a fire truck and police car were just pulling away... seems as if this small tree on the sidewalk caught fire...

It's still summer because... Street Fair!

On Fourth Avenue, from 14th Street to 10th Street. Perhaps your last chance to stock up on Magic Silk Skirts and tube socks until probably next weekend.

Emergency renovations shutter Paradis To-Go

EV Grieve reader Eric notes that the Paradis To-Go cafe on Fourth Avenue near 12th Street is currently closed for emergency renovations. He also wonders if they're losing business to the new Think Coffee up the Avenue.

Burritos coming for West Coast snobs (and others!) who say East Coast Mexican food really sucks compared to the West Coast

Back in May, we mentioned something about a coming-soon Mexican joint on Fourth Avenue near 13th Street....at this spot of a former Tasti D-Lite.




Anyway, we completely forgot about it. Until now.

Thrillist NY had a writeup on the place, called Dos Toros. It opens Friday. Here's what they say about it:

From two Bay Area brothers who trekked to NYC only to find a complete lack of true West Coast food missiles, DT's serving just that from behind a takeaway counter in a reclaimed wood and exposed brick sleeve, flush with black steel cladding and rustic woven leather stools; the casual vibe's augmented by an instrumental funk playlist hand picked by the brothers, one of whom toured as a bassist for Third Eye Blind, but apparently hasn't considered how it's gonna be when you don't love beans anymore. Believing the superiority of WC burritos owes to the attention given each component, everything but the cheese, crema, and tortillas are made in-house, having undergone hundreds of batch testings to ensure quality; rice, pinto/black beans, cheese, salsa, and sour cream are carefully layered for structural integrity, and wrapped in their favorite hand-stretched, super-thin-yet-resilient flour tortilla...

Fork in the Road notes that the Dos Toros space was designed by the same people who did Spitzer's Corner, the Box, Boqueria and Hill Country.

It's not polite to stare

On Fourth Avenue near 13th Street. I have to admit I was curious what this ad was for...Any guesses? What is the logical client for an ad with a model making the Ass Face? A hotel, of course! The Fontainebleau in Miami Beach. Part of the hotel's "rediscover" campaign.

Oh, as you probably know, the formerly iconic hotel was featured in Goldfinger.
