Ummburger opened this week at 99 First Avenue at Sixth Street.
As the name implies, this place sells a variety of burgers as well as salads. Here's a look at their menu from the Ummburger website...

The drinks menu includes what they are calling "Ummazing Chalices," 38-ounce fish bowl cocktails on dry ice, including the Mari Juana, which pairs apple, pineapple, kiwi liquid smoke and vodka. ($25).
The previous tenant at this address, Mancora, moved across Sixth Street this past summer.

The Fern is now open at 166 First Ave. near 10th Street. The bar-restuarant is from the same folks who run the Belfry on 14th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. Don't know anything else about the place at the moment. The Fern only has a placeholder website at this moment.
This address was previously, in fairly quick succession, North River and The Nite Owl, which closed in September 2015.

And Kokus, billed as NYC's "first plant-based soft serve with organic cultured coconut cream and lightly sweetened with raw honey," is serving its wares through Sunday at the Bowery Market, 348 Bowery at Great Jones. (They started on Wednesday.)
