A for-lease sign now hangs on the storefront at 110 St. Mark's Place, officially marking the end of the Spice Brothers here. 

The quick-serve restaurant offering Eastern Mediterranean street food had been closed all this month, prompting concerns about its future. 

Spice Brothers opened here between Avenue A and First Avenue in September 2023, and earned positive notices, including a rave from Pete Wells at the Times in July 2024. 

There is no mention of the closure on SB's Instagram account or website.

For 20 years, Crooked Tree served up crêpes and other cafe fare here until February 2019.

Openings: Spice Brothers on St. Mark's Place

Spice Brothers recently debuted at 110 St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue.

Lior Lev Sercarz, who sells crafted spice blends to chefs via his company La Boîte, teamed up with David Malbequi (below left), owner of David's Cafe next door, for this venture...

And we've already heard good things about the Eastern Mediterranean street food (like the shawarma platter) ... beer and wine are also available here...

The restaurant takes over from Isabella, which Malbequi and Daniel Rivera, his partner from David's, ran.

Spice Brothers is open Tuesday-Sunday from noon to 10 p.m.
