(Re)openings: Borrachito on A; Lost City Oyster House on C

Borrachito, the speakeasy-style taqueria in the back of the Garret East, is now the main event here at 206 Avenue A between 12th Street and 13th Street.

The taco bar switched places with the bar and is now serving from a to-go window (there's curbside dining too from 2-11 p.m.).

Time Out has a preview of the remodeled space, which opened yesterday, right here.

The Lost Lady, a nautica-themed bar, was said to close earlier this summer after nearly three years at 171 Avenue C between 10th Street and 11th Street.

However, the space has been reimagined as Lost City Oyster House — described as an "oyster house & beer garden." You can find the menu here.

Lost City comes from Robert Ceraso and Jason Mendenhall, the co-owners of Good Night Sonny and the Wild Son on First Avenue. Their other Avenue C venture, the Wayland, is temporarily closed after running afoul of the SLA.

Broken Coconut, the health-conscious restaurant from Butter/1Oak founder Scott Sartiano, opens today at 15 E. Fourth St. between Lafayette and Broadway, according to the Post.

The Post notes the menu will include a probiotic, protein-rich yogurt with a coconut base.

The Lost Lady, from Robert Ceraso and Jason Mendenhall, the co-owners of The Wayland and Good Night Sonny, opened last Wednesday at 171 Avenue C between 10th Street and 11th Street. This marks their third attempt at opening another bar along Avenue C. Plans for both the former Duke's space and current Royale fell through.

The space was originally going to go by The Drift Inn.

"Somebody opened a bar called the Drift Inn in Brooklyn a couple of months after we started working on that space," Ceraso told me earlier this summer. "It actually makes more sense for the space now. Once we got in there and started getting a feel for the bones of the space, our design went a lot more old nautical feeling. The Lost Lady feels to us like it could be the name of an old ship or a story that a fisherman would tell you."
