According to the Commerical Observer, Bhardwaj signed a 10-year deal for 5,500 square feet for his new concept, Jazba.
Per the CO:
Jazba will have a bar at the front of the restaurant, equipped with a craft cocktail menu, and two dining rooms serving recipes Bhardwaj picked up while visiting popular roadside eateries in India.
In May 2020, David Chang announced that he was moving the nearly 15-year-old Ssäm Bar from Second Avenue to the South Street Seaport. Milk Bar had retail space on the 13th Street side before moving across the street in May 2011. The cocktail bar Booker & Dax was then here until October 2016 before Ssäm Bar expanded.
This prime space had been waiting for a new tenant ever since Momofuku moved on.
