Soda Club, the latest vegan concept from Ravi DeRossi's
Overthrow Hospitality, is now open at 155 Avenue B between Ninth Street and 10th Street. (First reported
here.)
The restaurant is serving plant-based Italian cuisine and a large selection of natural and organic wines. You can check out the menu
here.
Soda Club is open Wednesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to midnight. For now, they're only taking walk-ins.
The previous tenant at No. 155, Donostia, the wine-and-tapas bar, closed
in November 2018 after five years in business.
This is the third new East Village from DeRossi this year... joining
Cadence on Seventh Street and
Etérea on Fifth Street.
At 54 Great Jones St., restaurateur Gabriel Stulman has changed up concepts for The Jones, his all-day cafe that opened in
August 2019 just west of the Bowery.
Inspired by the utterly charming Cafe de Flore in Paris... Stulman has transformed The Jones into a new classic American bistro, cafe, and bar with partner and executive chef James McDuffee ... That means an extensive wine list, clutch cappuccinos, snackable bites like a "Della" tea sandwich, and satisfying mains like chopped steak frites.
Will update with the hours later. No website at the moment, but there's always
Instagram.
Before The Jones, No. 54 was home to the Great Jones Cafe, which never reopened after Jim Moffett, the longtime owner,
died in July 2018 at age 59. The Cafe, a popular yet low-key spot, first arrived in 1983.
Meanwhile, the bust of Elvis remains from the days of the Great Jones Cafe...
