Hmm, $15,000 a month...?

Cafe Hanover will now open on [ ]

Way back in like December, we (citizens of the East Village) were promised that the Cafe Hanover — the gourmet deli portion of the mammoth three-story karaoke/billiards/gourmet deli palace at the former Mondo Kim's on St. Mark's Place — would open on Dec. 18....



...now though, a sign is covering up the 18....



...given that the 12 is past due too, someone may as cover that up as well....

2U (or U2) Karaoke is now open on St. Mark's Place; Hanover Cafe coming soon

More signs for U2/2U perhaps?

At the mammoth three-story karaoke/billiards/gourmet deli palace Friday afternoon, when the Cafe Hanover was supposed to open. It was still not open as of yesterday.

New karaoke empire on St. Mark's is just so ...

busy looking...Is there some sort of limit on the number of different types of signs on one business?



And, according to Eater, it appears U2/2U is illegally serving booze...

All sorts of things happening at the former Mondo Kim's on St. Mark's between Third Avenue and Second Avenue...



The karaoke portion of this new B&T empire opened over the weekend...




The folks behind Hanover Cafe are also part of the World's Fare Market at Citi Field.

Nothing compares 2 U?: St Mark's karaoke/billiards/gourmet deli palace gets a sign

That mammoth three-story karaoke/billiards/gourmet deli palace, 2 U Karaoke Lounge Suites at the former Mondo Kim's space on St. Mark's, has unveiled its new signage...




...and it's rather difficult to read...looks like some rejected concepts from U2's PopLife tour...

What we now know about the karaoke empire on St. Mark's Place

On July 11, we pointed out the new "coming soon karaoke lounge suites" signs on the former Mondo Kim's space at 6 St. Mark's Place. Then came the signs telling that a gourmet deli would share this spot.

And now?



Billiards!



So, according to the signs on the door, the gourmet deli is in the basement...billiards on one...housewares on 2 (OK, OK)...presumably the karaoke will take up the rest of the building.

Yikes.

Oh, and the owners will go before the SLA & DCA Licensing Committee again on Sept. 14. They were already turned down for a liquor license in March, as Eater reported.

Coming soon: A gourmet deli to go with your karaoke on St. Mark's Place

I wondered how the karaoke joint on St. Marks's at the former home of Mondo Kim's would fill up all that space...



According to plans on the door, we may be in for a gourmet deli.



Seems to make sense. There's already another karaoke place across the street... might as well have another gourmet deli like the one across the street to match...

Which might explain why so many kids are requesting the long version of "Nights In White Satin"

"Clubgoers and college kids are taking trips back in time -- getting high on hallucinogenic drugs popular in the 1960s and '70s, cops say. The NYPD has begun closely tracking the seizures of designer drugs rarely seen since the hippie era but now being peddled to customers in nightclubs and karaoke bars." (New York Post)

Weekend repeat: Karaoke taking over Mondo Kim's space

I orginally posted this Saturday afternoon.




For further reading on Mondo Kim's.

And thanks to Gothamist for picking up the story Saturday. I liked what Billy Parker had to say:

The space once belonging to Mondo Kim's record and video store on St. Marks Place is going to be opening as a new karaoke joint for the thousands of bridge and tunnelers who desperately need an alternative to Sing Sing across the street.

And I never did find naming a karaoke place after a maximum security prison all that cute.

Karaoke taking over Mondo Kim's space

We've all been curious what would take over this enormous space on St. Mark's between Third Avenue and Second Avenue since Jeremiah broke the news that Mondo Kim's was leaving...
