Reminders tonight: CB3/SLA committee meeting; plus, several scratches
Just a reminder that the CB3/SLA licensing committee meets tonight at 6:30 — JASA/Green Residence, 200 East 5th Street at Bowery. (We looked at the items on the agenda here.)
Here's an updated look at the February docket. As you can see there are a few scratches for whatever reasons... most notably, Nublu and Nevada Smith's...

Oh no! Robin Raj is no longer Robin Raj!
On Friday, EV Grieve reader evilnyc passed along the following photo from Third Avenue near 14th Street.
A name change at Robin Raj!
We went to investigate and found everything to be ... exactly the same...
Simon Doonan's The window displays...
...the cartoon food (and, what, exactly, is that to the left of the cake?)
... the broken LED light board zipper thing...
Everything is the same except the name...
The name will likely grow on us. Once we can say it three times fast while holding our tongue.
Robin Raj moved here from the corner in January 2009.
Actually, the space has been on the market. Apparently the new owners are keeping it as is.
Check out the rents (and key money). We heard that they paid just under $30,000 when they were on the corner of 14th Street and Third Avenue... and that the landlord was raising the rent to $60,000. Not sure what 5 Napkin Burger is paying, but that's a lot of burgers either way...
For all of our Robin Raj coverage, including an alternate ending, please go here.

Speaking of businesses with new names that are exactly the same...
In case you missed our post from late Friday afternoon... Roastown Coffee is now Eastside Bakery.net on St. Mark's and Second Avenue...
Oh, that new name! Per a commenter: "so can i just walk in or do i have to log on?"
And we did walk in (our first time here). The counter person said that the new sign went up on Friday... and that there weren't any other changes. All said with a shrug.
And this space was once home to a Gap. Read about that here.

Rue B is open
Last night we mentioned that Rue B was closed on Avenue B because of some water-power problem ... in any event, it's back open ....
