Great New Bakery Arrives
At the spot on University Place near 11th St. that was long home to Patsy’s Pizza and more recently to the ill-fated Lucky Louie’s, we now find a new branch of the delicious Maman Bakery. Many French-style treats to be had.

From the NY Post:
University Place is about to get a new, fun restaurant: the first New York outpost of Vapiano, a German-based chain of some 30 casual Italian eateries, which will open soon at 113 University at 13th Street. A Newmark Knight Frank team including Jeffrey Roseman repped the tenant and a Newmark team also repped the landlord, the Amalgamated Lithographers Union. Vapiano has locations in six other US cities. In Manhattan, it will have about 7,000 square feet on two levels in a long-vacant space. The asking rent was $200 per square foot. The chain, which calls itself a “fuel stop for grown-ups,” serves inexpensive antipasti, salads, pasta and pizza prepared on-site as customers watch. (Many dishes are priced under $10, according to Vapiano’s Web site). The new place also promises a full bar and “lively happy-hour scene.” Roseman chuckled, “It’s been described as a fast-casual cross between Mario Batali and Chipotle with uber-style.”
Have a look at Vapiano.
They pretended like they would be back, but vegan-friendly Blossom du Jour on our block of 13th St. is done.
The word is generally positive on Dos Toros Burritos, located near the northeast corner of 13th and 4th.
That’s weird. Bar 13, which has been at the corner of University and 13th for more than 20 years, has been reborn as Cheers NYC, which is a non-alcoholic bar. Mocktails only. Go figure. Seems it’s true the kids are drinking less these days.
