'Snow alert' is on ahead of Winter Storm Kenan
Here's the latest from the EVG inbox:
The New York City Emergency Management Department today issued a hazardous travel advisory for Friday evening, January 28, through Saturday, January 29. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Winter Storm Warning for New York City in effect from 7 p.m. Friday through 7 p.m. Saturday, January 29.
A Winter Storm Warning is issued when heavy snow of 6 inches or more is expected to significantly impact mass transit, utilities, and cause difficult travel conditions. New Yorkers should prepare for snow covered roads and limited visibility. New Yorkers are advised to avoid travel Friday night through Saturday evening, as roads will be dangerous.
According to the latest National Weather Service forecast, light snow will develop Friday evening, becoming steadier and heavier overnight into Saturday morning. Snow will continue through Saturday afternoon and begin to taper off in the late afternoon. A total of 8 to 12 inches of accumulation is expected with this event, with locally higher amounts possible. Temperatures will be in the low 20s to mid-teens with wind chills near or below zero from Saturday morning through mid-day Sunday. Wind gusts may also be as high as 50 mph with strong gusts continuing through Saturday night, producing low visibility due to drifting and blowing snow, even after snowfall has ended.
The City's Sanitation Department has issued a "snow alert" beginning on Friday, January 28, at 4 p.m. The Sanitation Department is pre-deploying over 700 salt spreaders to pretreat roadways ahead of the first snowflake and is prepared to dispatch plows in all sectors when more than 2 inches of snow accumulates.As of 3 p.m., Key Food was holding its own with items people feel compelled to buy before any storm (bread, milk, etc.).
No word on the supply of shrimp cocktail that's always on display for impulse buying at the checkout at Union Market on Avenue A and Houston Street...

There wasn't any sign of Max at the moment... or the dozens of suitcases marked with "FBI evidence."

The small bakery with a to-go window had been closed since Dec. 19 while the owners, East Village residents and real-life partners Yunsu and Parker, managed some unforeseen personal circumstances.
Starting today, Yunsu will be at the shop with limited hours and offerings for the time being. (Parker will be back at the bakery in a bit.) You can find the shop open Wednesday-Friday from 8 a.m. to noon, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
The bakery opened here in January 2021. Read Stacie Joy's interview with Yunsu and Parker at the link below...

Last weekend in business for Dress Shoppe II
Sunday is the shop's last day.
Saroj Goyal has been doing her best to keep the business going since her husband of 50 years, Purushottam Goyal, died in September 2019. (In a previous post, you can read more about the closing and the financial arrangements with the landlord, the Cooper Square Mutual Housing Association II.)
There are advertised specials on items up to 80-percent off. The shop is open from noon to 8 p.m. daily, with 1-6 p.m. hours on Sunday.

Openings: TLK on 3rd Avenue
During the pandemic, hospitality veteran Michelle Morgan, who grew up in Chinatown, opened Tiger Lily Kitchen as a delivery-only business in Gramercy Park. The food gained a following, so Morgan relocated to a space with room for in-person dining.
Here's more background via the restaurant's website:
Its concept and menu draws inspiration from Michelle's mother, who was born in Hong Kong, and her travels throughout Asia. The vegetarian lifestyle she encountered helped build the platform to be veggie-forward — serving a healthy, Hong Kong inspired, Asian menu that is mostly gluten free and vegan based, with meat options.TLK is open for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday. Hours: Wednesday-Thursday noon to midnight; Friday noon to 2 a.m.; Saturday 5 p.m. to 2 a.m.; Sunday 5 p.m. to midnight.

Hekate Café & Elixir Lounge is now open at 167 Avenue B between 10th Street and 11th Street.
As EVG contributor Stacie Joy reported a few weeks back, Lucky Bar owner Abby Ehmann (above) and Brooklyn Roasting Company founder Jim Munson are behind this venture.
A refresher:
"Hekate Café and Elixir Lounge will be a warm space infused with feminine energy, serving coffee and espresso drinks, specialty teas, and magical elixirs. There will also be interesting merchandise for sale with an emphasis on the mystical."
In a storefront that previously housed a dry cleaners, the new business is across the street from Lucky, the bar Ehmann opened in September 2016.
For now, Hekate is serving up coffee drinks daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. 
Then! After 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, there will be "resident witches" on hand for tarot card readings and to answer questions while the shop gets into its coffee groove and figures out the work-in-progress magical elixirs. (Ehmann invites customers to join them for tastings and creating.)
Hekate will also host an array of special evening events, including art and photo openings. Check out the events page at this link.
The Bronx Brewery announces itself on 2nd Avenue
We're told that this outpost is an approval away from being all systems go in the weeks ahead.
Once open, the multi-level space will "combine limited-release brewing, the brewery’s signature events, art & music," per a release about the Bronx Brewery East Village. The space will also feature the first U.S. location for Swedish brand Bastard Burgers.
This outpost of the Taproom, Brewery and Backyard in the South Bronx has been in the work for several years — the initial coming-soon announcement came on March 12, 2020, 10 days before NY State went on PAUSE.
No. 64's retail space has been vacant since NYC Velo moved next door to No. 66 in the spring of 2016.
