Earlier in the month, Jum Mum at 5 St. Mark's Place closed for renovations. According to the quick-serve Thai-Chinese restaurant's Facebook page: "Hold on to your VIP cards WE ARE COMING BACK. Getting ready for a new look this fall!"

Apparently there is more than a new look… there's also a whole new concept… the banner now hanging outside advertises an annex (Spot 2) for the Spot Dessert Bar …



… which is just a few storefronts away…



Jum Mum, which opened in May 2012, was run by the owners of Spot.

Paper has covered the windows at Jum Mum at 5 St. Mark's Place these past few days... giving the impression that the quick-serve Thai-Chinese restaurant near Third Avenue is a goner.

However, it's just a renovation (not a "closed for renovation"). According to the restaurant's Facebook page:

We will be temporarily closed for renovation ... Hold on to your VIP cards WE ARE COMING BACK. Getting ready for a new look this fall!
