Mario Carta and Guilherme Barreto, the proprietors of Pardon My French at 103 Avenue B near Seventh Street, have designs on new ventures in two currently vacant restaurant spaces on Fourth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B, according to documents on file for this month's CB3 SLA committee meeting on Monday.
Before Pardon My French debuted in March 2015, Carta ran the bistro Casimir in the space for 16 years. Barreto came on as the chef for the new venture.
235 E. Fourth St.
The applicants are proposing a restaurant serving French tapas called Nobody Is Perfect for No. 235.
The public questionnaire (
PDF!) at the CB3 website shows proposed hours of 5 p.m. to 4 a.m. Monday-Friday, with opening hours at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
The paperwork shows 30 tables with seats for 70 diners... and two small bars seating 12 people in total.
The previous restaurant, B4,
closed in June after nearly three years in business.
No. 235 has been a challenging spot in recent years for restaurants —
Piccola Positano,
Tonda and
E.U. have all come and gone.
212 E. Fourth St.
A French-Mediterranean restaurant called Bazar is being proposed for No. 212.
The public questionnaire (
PDF!) at the CB3 website shows proposed hours of 5 p.m. to 4 a.m. Monday-Friday, with opening hours at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
There are 18 tables for 36 diners here ... along with a six-seat bar.
The applicants are hoping for an upgrade from beer-wine to a full liquor license, per the documents.
After 13 years of serving Italian fare,
In Vino closed here back in May.
This month's SLA committee meeting is Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the Thelma Burdick Community Room, 10 Stanton St. at the Bowery.
