There's the following item on this month's
CB3/SLA meeting agenda under the Alterations/Transfers/Upgrades category:
• To Be Determined (Epicurean Management), 11 E 1st St (trans/op) (Bowery Wine)
Well, 11 E. First Street is the space to the east of the Bowery Wine Company.
According to documents on the CB3
website (warning! PDF!), August Cardona, owner of Dell'Anima, L'Artusi and Anfora, is the name of the applicant.
The plans call for buying the Bowery Wine Company and expanding into the empty space next door in the Avalon Bowery Place.
In total, there'll be 50 tables seating 160 people with plans for outdoor dining and a sidewalk cafe. The proposed hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week.
Not familiar with Dell'Anima? Here's
a summary via
New York magazine:
This is what happens when a former Babbo sommelier and an ex–Del Posto kitchen whiz get together and open an unassuming little trattoria: mobs of salivating foodies and goggle-eyed scenesters clamoring to get in.
Salivating foodies? Goggle-eyed scenesters? Sounds about right for the Bowery 2.0.
The CB3/SLA meeting is May 16 at 6:30 pm — JASA/Green Residence, 200 East 5th Street at the Bowery.
