Teshigotoya, the Japanese restaurant at 432 E. 13th St. between Avenue A and First Avenue, quietly closed earlier this year.
The space is on the market.
The listing shows an asking rent of $10,500 a month for the 800-square-feet of space. (There's also a $30,000 fixture fee.)
This spot has been a tough sell in the past few years. Masak, the well-regard Singapore-influenced restaurant,
closed in April 2013. Then came Sembrado’s Tacos al Pastor,
the Mexican restaurant from Danny Mena, the chef and co-founder of Hecho en Dumbo. And, I'm told, Teshigotoya went through an ownership change at some point after
its early 2015 opening.
In previous posts about openings and closings at this address, commenters have said this is a tough block for foot traffic. Will the arrival of condos at
the Thirteen East + West development ... or the
8-story residential building going up across the street at the former post office help make something work here?
