An honest post-DOH inspection reaction

Ten Degrees Bistro at 121 St. Mark's Place got dinged during a DOH inspection this past Thursday ... with the city agency forcing a closure after finding 48 violation points. (No. 1 item listed: "Food worker does not use proper utensil to eliminate bare hand contact with food that will not receive adequate additional heat treatment.")



And the management's meme-generated reaction ...

On Avenue A, Flea Market Cafe is now Ten Degrees Bistro

Back on Thanksgiving, we noticed that a worker was painting over the Flea Market Cafe sign on Avenue A...



And that's the last time we thought about it… until EVG regular Bayou pointed out the restaurant's chalkboard sign from Sunday … with a new name — Ten Degrees Bistro...



Ten Degrees management made the announcement on their Facebook page back on Dec. 1.

To all our patrons & friends, we would like to announce that the bistro we purchased last Spring, The Flea Market Bistro, was finally approved a name change and hence forward shall be known as TEN DEGREES BISTRO. YAAY..so excited!!!!! ..we have fantastic new additions to the Brunch and dinner menu...

The folks at Ten Degrees Bar around the corner on St. Mark's took over operations of the restaurant ... with a reopening this past March.

Here is the Bistro's new menu.

Flea Market Cafe closed in August 2011 after all that arson business.

Previously on EV Grieve:
New-look Flea Market Cafe shows itself on Avenue A; reopens March 11

Flea Market Cafe reopens today, and here's the menu

Was the fire at Flea Market yesterday suspicious?
