Teriyaki Bowls for Everyone

It looks like our local BID wants to stretch its boundaries as improvements to Union Square and 14th St. continue to be planned.

Now upstairs at Chard, formerly Le Croque Monsieur, on 13th St., is Singlish, a Singapore-flavored high-end speakeasy with delicious and breathtakingly expensive drinks. Save it for special occasions. Reservations recommended.

Everything, including all those candles, is on deep discount, so hurry in.

The scaffolding is now going up around Bowlmor Lanes. The end is nigh.

Below is the ID and password for the Build the Block meeting on Thursday 9/30.

If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail them over by Thursday morning. I look forward to seeing everyone.

Today Goathamist reports that the city has picked Simon Oren’s Chef Driven Market, LLC to run the restaurant in the pavilion in the northern tip of Union Square. The company currently runs the 5 Napkin Burger chain, as well as a string of other restaurants throughout the city.

The current plan is to run an all-day seasonal American restaurant that will utilize produce from the Union Square Greenmarket, from April through October. The operators also want to annex part of the space just north of the pavilion for outdoor seating and a bar area. The city has reportedly agreed to a 15 year deal with the company. This comes a few months after news broke that OV-Hospitality’s plans for a restaurant in the space called City Farm Cafe fell through.
