Caracas Arepa Bar closed for "a major repair"
Just the take-out shop is closed. The restaurant is still open next door. On Seventh Street near First Avenue.
Noted
From Page Six:
IT'S casting time for "Sex and the City" extras. Producers of the sequel starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon are holding a "cattle call" Thursday at the soon-to-open restaurant Le Souk on LaGuardia Place. "They're looking for Middle Eastern people for a scene where the girls go to a club in a Middle Eastern neighborhood, so it's fitting they're holding it at a hookah lounge and restaurant," our spy said.

Gentlemen, this is a post about the Gentlemen, this is vodka ad
The one at Sixth Street at Avenue A. Gone!
And now we look back fondly at the most pretentious of ads that graced Avenue A... with a subtle juxtaposition next to the sanitation truck....

What will we do until Sept. 10?
Lucy told us that she'd be leaving for Poland for several weeks. Still. Anyway, here are a few shots -- drinking, playing with a camera -- to hold us over until Sept. 10. Avenue A between Ninth and 10th Street.
Iggy's is apparently open
There were balloons and people inside, according to a tipster. Maybe even free slices? And how was the pizza? "I wasn't hungry."
Anyone else try the pizza?

Teneleven closed for remodeling: "Fret not ye lushes"
I've never written about Teneleven, 171 Avenue C between 10th Street and 11th Street. I like what they do here, using their space to showcase the work of local artists, photographers, musicians, etc. I hope that they do reopen soon, as promised.
A Cure for this location?
Cure closed up a few weeks back...And now, the space is being renovated....
...people working on the old Cure said this spot will become a coffee shop/small plates place...they're looking to open in the next six weeks. Perhaps they can break the cycle here — three places in quick succession.

No more Cure

Ciao Ballaro?
Ballaro, a "caffe prosciutteria" that opened in late April on Second Avenue between Fourth Street and Fifth Street, hasn't been open the last few days and nights. And no one answers the phone.
