Bar Bacon will soon open in the space on the east side of 4th Ave. between 12th and 13th formerly occupied by Royal Bar. So if you like bacon….
Here’s what local folks are saying:
As construction continues at the northern end of Union Square Park, more and more trees are being removed. See for yourself.
Sales are hot hot hot at 27 East 12th St., the upcoming skyscraper on the site of Bowlmor Lanes. Even though the building doesn’t yet exist, at least 20 of the 53 units, including both zillion-dollar penthouses, are sold. Movin’ on up.
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.
Wondering how CitiBikes are deployed around town at this very moment. This cool interactive map has live data. See it here. And you can even see how other bike share programs around the world are doing too.
