A quickie progress report on L'Apicio, opening on East First Street in the Shoppes at Avalon Bowery Place ... chairs and tables have arrived...
... and a look inside...
According to Eater: "Chef Gabe Thompson, of L'Artusi and Dell'Anima, will create an 'Italian inspired' menu, and Joe Campanale will be in charge of the wine and cocktails."

Back in December, we noted that Oliva, the Spanish tapas bar with a prime corner at Houston and Allen, was on the market. Here's a look at its replacement...
BoweryBoogie has been following the developments here, noting a few weeks ago that Mezetto "will serve Mediterranean-style tapas and reportedly carry aggressive hours of operation (9am-12am Sun-Th; 9am-2am Fri-Sat)."

And signage has arrived for the latest dessertery on St. Mark's Place...
As DNAinfo first reported in February, Macaron Parlour is taking over the vacant storefronts at 111 St. Mark's Place, part of the former Chocolate Library. The desserts debuted at the Hester Street Fair in 2010. Fillings include things like candied bacon and maple cream cheese.
