First sign of Pig & Butter on Avenue B


Signage for Pig & Butter has arrived above the doorway at 42 Avenue B between Third Street and Fourth Street. (Thanks to the EVG readers who noted this!)

As previously noted, this will be a sibling to the P&B that serves breakfast-inspired dishes all day long from 134 Ludlow St.

Chef-owner Sherry Grimes, a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, will be serving comfort food and cocktails from the small space with six tables and a bar with nine seats.

Looker, which served vegan bar food and cocktails, closed here early last year after nine months in business.

Meanwhile, next door (No. 40), a new venture called Dora's Restaurant is in the works (signage is up for that too). More about them in another post.

As previously reportedRicardo Arias and Patricia Valencia, the husband-and-wife owners of the now-closed Café Cortadito on Third Street near Avenue B, plan to open a similar concept here in the former home of the Cornerstone Cafe.

While there won't be a bar on the premises for patrons, Arias and Valencia are applying for a liquor license for their mojitos and other drink specials.

You can read the application here.

The owners of Moko on Second Avenue are behind Shiso, a high-end concept featuring a tasting menu of French and Japanese cuisine.

According to the questionnaire on file at the CB3 website, they plan on a daily service from 5-10 p.m. The space on Ninth Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue was previously the Dumpling Lab, which closed last fall after receiving a Michelin Bib Gourmand.
