year for B&H Dairy

.

Someone smashed a hole in the front door and broke into the 82-year-old lunch counter around 3 a.m. at 127 Second Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place. The thief (or thieves) made off with the cash drawer

.

Owners Ola and Fawzy Abdelwahed outlined their struggles here

at

the end of the summer. They're currently relying on pick ups and delivery ... as well as a few outdoor seats ... to stay in business during the pandemic. They had to cover paying employees, rent, utilities, and buying food for the restaurant on only 10 percent of their previous income. On May 30 someone smashed in their front window during a spate of vandalism along Second Avenue. B&H was able to open today at 11:30 after the police made a report... _ Thanks to Steven for the photos!_ Posted by Grieve at 12:30 PM

WITH GAS SHUT OFF, TOMPKINS SQUARE BAGELS OWNER WONDERS WHY THE CITY ISN'T HELPING SMALL BUSINESSES DURING PANDEMIC

On Nov. 13

,

we told you that ConEd shut off the gas at the Avenue A location of Tompkins Square Bagels . At the time, a carbon monoxide sensor went off related to the storefront's hot water heater. Workers discovered a hole in the flue that brings in replacement air. Because of the hole, replacement air wasn't getting into the basement, thus the high carbon monoxide reading, owner Christopher Pugliese said. Regardless of the find and fix, ConEd still turned off the gas to the storefront at 165 Avenue A between 10th Street and 11th Street. To keep the popular shop running, Pugliese, who helped feed the homeless and essential front-line workers during the pandemic's worst days in the spring, spent $7,000 to buy three electric grills and have three 220-volt power lines installed so his team could cook. Pugliese provided an update. > It has been an incredible struggle to keep the doors open at the > Avenue A location. We are basically working around the clock at  to feed Avenue A. My staff, guys who have > been fighting and pushing with me since April, are absolutely

> shot.

>

> The cost of running an entire store on electricity as opposed to gas > is also extremely costly.  I'm not sure how much longer we can keep > this up. At the same time, I have 15 full-timers and 10 part-timers > who depend on their jobs to feed their families, pay rent or get

> through school.

>

> There is no end in sight and this is all extremely frustrating > especially since the original issue was not gas related. Somehow, > I've still had to file permits with the DOB, amendments with the > DOB, and apply for gas with ConEd as if I were a brand new > operation. I've heard stories of similar issues from other shop > owners who waited months or even a year to have their gas

Pugliese is hopeful that a local elected official or community group will help advocate for small businesses like Tompkins Square Bagels and others in similar situations.

Labels: Tompkins Square Bagels A GOOD HAIR DAY: INVESTORS PITCH IN TO SAVE ASTOR PLACE HAIRSTYLISTS

FROM CLOSURE

A group of wealthy investors has come together to save the Astor Place Hairstylists. The nearly 75-year-old NYC institution was set to

close this week

after business dropped by 90 percent during the pandemic. However, as the _Post_ reports

,

enough money has been raised to keep the subterranean barber shop "open for at least another 75 years." Financier Jonathan Trichter and a group that includes Mike Bloomberg adviser and former Hillary Clinton aide Howard Wolfson, pollster Jefrey Pollock and gaming mogul Jeff Gural put in the money to keep the business afloat. (PIX 11 reported that the current owners are leaving; that "some of the new owners are clients, as well, keeping things in the family.") Trichter said that he has been a customer since 1983. Gural owns the building at Astor Place and Broadway, and waived the rent for the time

being.

> Gural told the _Post_ that both Trichter and Mayor de Blasio > separately reached out to him to see if he could help stop the > store’s shut-down — and it was a no-brainer for him.

>

> "Nobody wanted to see it closed," Gural said. “They’ve been a

> great tenant."

Labels: Astor Place Hairstylists TODAY IS THE LAST GREENMARKET AT ASTOR PLACE THIS SEASON The Astor Place Greenmarket wraps up its inaugural year today...  the market, done in conjunction between GrowNYC and the Village Alliance , arrived back in August

on

the south plaza at Astor Place (Eighth Street-Lafayette). The hours today: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. By all accounts, people seemed to like this greenmarket, especially among the residents who miss the greenmarket at St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery

For instance, someone placed the above flyers along Avenue B showing a video-surveillance pic of an alleged thief residents say is "looting delivery packages" at several EV buildings. One reader shares the text of a flyer from a building along Seventh

Street:

HERE THEN, THE FULL REVEAL AT THE EXPLOSION SITE CONDOPLEX Workers removed the remaining section of the sidewalk bridge around the all-new 45 E. Seventh St. on Thursday... offering a full look at the 21-unit condoplex with retail space here on Second Avenue. As reported previously, the building sits on two of the three lots destroyed during the deadly gas explosion here on March 26, 2015. Sales commenced back in the summer

for

the units in the Morris Adjmi-designed building. Prices range from $1.35 million for a one-bedroomer and $1.995 million to $4 million for two and three bedrooms ... with the penthouse asking more than $8

million.

... and here's an evening shot via Steven...

The

property will include a commemorative plaque that honors the two men who died here during the explosion: Nicholas Figueroa and Moises Locón. In October 2017, city officials unveiled new street blades

that

co-name this northwest corner of Second Avenue and Seventh Street

after the two men.

THE BLIND PIG'S CONVERSION INTO COYOTE UGLY CONTINUES Renovations (painting, etc.) continues inside the retail space at 233 E. 14th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue ... where the address will one day be the new NYC home of Coyote Ugly. While there isn't any Coyote Ugly signage up just yet, CEO and founder Lil Lovell tweeted

a video

clip from inside the former Blind Pig last month, noting it was time

"to get working."

As we first reported

on

Sept. 15, Coyote Ugly permanently closed its home of 27 years at 153 First Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street. In announcing the closure, Lovell had this to say in a video clip

: "After

sitting closed for six months due to COVID restrictions, we simply can't afford to pay the rent." This was the very first of the Coyote Ugly saloons — featuring bartop dancing and body shots. There are now more than two-dozen global outposts

.

The Blind Pig, the sports bar/pub (home to Arsenal supporters in the English Premier League), closed after service in June 2019.

At

the time, the owners of the 13-year-old Blind Pig said they were hit with an untenable 50-percent rent increase

THAT FAKE MCDONALD'S SIGN IS NO LONGER ON THE ZUM SCHNEIDER SPACE A quick follow-up to the post from Friday ... in which a coming soon (January 2021!) sign for McDonald's appeared on the door of the former Zum Schneider space on Avenue C at Seventh Street. The sign is now gone — apparently someone was _not — _yuk! yuk!_ —_lovin' this hoax... By all accounts, the sign, which looked Photoshopped in the daylight and suspiciously appeared outside the door, was a fake. Anyway, so we'll see what might be next for real here. Zum Schneider, the popular biergarten and restaurant, closed here after 20 years in late February

A CAR FIRE ON 4TH STREET This afternoon, Kanielle Hernandez

had just parked

her car when it erupted in flames in the Mariana Bracetti Plaza lot on Fourth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C... the FDNY (the nearby FDNY Engine 28 Ladder 11) quickly responded to the blaze... EVG contributor Stacie Joy was on the scene... Hernandez doesn't know how or why the fire started but speculated that rats may have chewed through wires in the engine

.

(She had noticed some rat-chewing damage last night.) Thankfully no one was injured, though the car is in bad shape. And Hernandez shot this video of the fire... Posted by Grieve at 8:26 PM

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2020 QUEST TO CO-NAME PART OF ST. MARK'S PLACE AFTER JIMMY WEBB CONTINUES As we first reported on Oct. 5

,

there's an ongoing campaign to co-name part of St. Mark's Place after the late Jimmy Webb.

The online petition

is

nearing 4,500 signatures, including Jimmy's friend Slash from Guns N'

Roses.

Tomorrow (Sunday!), employees from Webb's former boutique, I Need More

, will be

on St. Mark's Place to collect more signatures to co-name the block between Second Avenue and Third Avenue Jimmy Webb Place Webb, a familiar figure in the East Village during his long tenure as the manager and buyer at Trash & Vaudeville,

died

on April 14 of cancer

. He was 62.

He started working at his dream destination, Trash & Vaudeville, in 1999, and remained there until the shop relocated from 4 St. Mark's Place to Seventh Street in 2016

.

He opened I Need More on Orchard Street in October 2017

.

That store closed this past summer. The process of co-naming a street within the confines of Community Board 3 is explained on this PDF

.

You can catch the Fiore Escape at 6 p.m. on Essex Street between Grand and Hester (above Delancey Car Service!) Per the invite: Attendees must wear a mask or face covering and remain at a social distance on

There's a theme to each week highlighting different types of specialty businesses — now currently in the "books + music" week. The organizations are encouraging residents to shop locally to support independent businesses that have had a very challenging year during

the pandemic.

You can check out this link to see participating merchants and the deals they're offering through Dec. 13. And the EVIMA Intagram account will provide daily updates. Posted by Grieve at 6:30 AM

SAN LOCO'S LIQUOR LICENSE HAS ARRIVED ON AVENUE C

San

Loco debuted at 111 Avenue C between Seventh Street and Eighth Street last December

.

However, the pandemic apparently slowed down the paperwork, and the quick-serve Tex-Mex restaurant only just received their liquor

license yesterday.

EVG contributor Stacie Joy was there for the occasion as owners Jill and Kimo Hing and son Dietrich _(top right) _assembled the area where they'll be making drinks... including a variety of margaritas... And the first drink ordered: a cactus-pear margarita on the rocks ... San Loco is open daily here from 4 to 10 p.m. Follow them at Instagram

via this link .

San Loco's East Village presence dates to 1986. Our previous post

has

more background.

IS A MCDONALD'S OPENING IN THE FORMER ZUM SCHNEIDER SPACE ON AVENUE

C?

UPDATED 1:30 P.M.

_Several readers who got a closer look at the sign say it's a fake — it looks Photoshopped and it's taped to the outside of the door, which

is suspicious._

_

_

UPDATED 11/22

_The sign has been removed._ This just in... a reader (_thanks Ryan!_) shares these photos from the former Zum Schneider space on Avenue C at Seventh Street ... where there is now a coming soon sign for McDonald's... The sign, with the McDonald's logo, reads: "We're Lovin' It! Coming January 2021. Open 24 hours." At this very moment, we're not sure it this is legit or not — _possibly_ someone trying to be funny. (Still thinking of the Hooters

hoax

at the former 2nd Ave Deli site way back in 2006.) We'll look to get verification on this. Zum Schneider, the popular biergarten and restaurant, closed here after 20 years in late February

.

According to Zum Schneider owner Sylvester Schneider at the time

, the

co-op's lawyer here on Seventh Street stated that the building had no intention to renew the lease. If this is true, then it will mark the third McDonald's in the neighborhood, joining the one on First Avenue at 14th Street and on First Avenue near Sixth Street. (The outpost on Third Avenue closed in

June 2017

.)

dating landscape."

While there were those among us who thought this might be in the "guy-looking-for-a-girlfriend

"

guy orbit, we are assured that this is quite legitimate. So far, there has been a lot of interested participants contact the number after seeing the flyers (and our post!), according to a rep

for the production.

"The flyer was intentionally a little vague to not reveal too much about the project — it's in early stages of development with Imagine and Talos Films," the rep said. They're now actively casting for the documentary series that seeks to "authentically capture love and sex across 10th Street." "We’re looking for folks from all walks of life, in all kinds of stages of partnership," the rep said. And why this street? "We picked 10th Street because it’s such a culturally and socioeconomically diverse cross section of the city, the battleground of the gay rights movement , and — anecdotally — a place where a lot of hookups/breakups/makeups take place!"

A VISIT TO VAN DA ON 4TH STREET _TEXT AND PHOTOS BY STACIE JOY_ There is something magical watching a close-knit team work together to

create something.

In that light, I was pleased to arrive early enough at the elegant and modern Vietnamese restaurant Van Da, 234 E. Fourth St. between Avenue A and Avenue B, to watch the chefs prepare, taste, and perfect the day’s special, tôm rim shrimp. It’s a seafood dish cooked over high heat with caramelized fish sauce, peppers and toasted cashews, all served over broken rice, which executive chef Mary Celine Bui calls “tortured rice” due to the process that it undergoes to become “broken.” The dish is tasted by all staff members and discussed (chef Jay Bui, Mary’s husband and partner in the kitchen, offers to add some green onions), and notes are jotted down to inform diners about the special, before the chefs make a new batch with modifications under the watchful eye of owner Yen Ngo. Yen, Mary and Jay go through several iterations of the plate before Yen is satisfied that it is ready for her customers. Away from the kitchen, bartender Andrew Pisano gets his station in order and begins to prep the cocktail specialty ingredients (Thai basil, bird-chili–infused mezcal, passionfruit) necessary to complement the food menu. Meanwhile, diners start to arrive, so I settle in to talk with Yen about what it’s like to keep a neighborhood restaurant going during a global pandemic, the challenges of balancing labor, food and supply costs, and what her plans are going forward. _YOUR RESTAURANT OPENED LAST YEAR TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM (PER THE TIMES

AND EATER

)__,

YET YOU CONSIDER THE SPACE AN APPROACHABLE NEIGHBORHOOD LOCAL. WHAT HAS THE NEIGHBORHOOD’S RESPONSE BEEN?_

_

_We feel so fortunate to have such amazing writeups and to be recognized by the Michelin. It’s such an honor. Restaurant businesses are so hard, we love this kind of recognition plus the reviews of our guests. I live in the East Village so I understand both what the neighborhood offers and lacks in term of restaurants. There is definitely a lack of Vietnamese restaurants that offer an interesting and authentic menu, but which also offer beautiful aesthetic atmosphere and great service. With that said, we keep our prices very competitive with other neighborhood restaurants. Our appetizers start at $7 and noodle entree at $15. Our neighbors love us and have been back regularly. Many have told us that we are their hidden gem. _WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE FOR YOU SINCE THE CITY APPROVED OUTDOOR DINING BACK IN THE SUMMER?

_

There are so many challenges…including creating and spending money on a completely new type of setting. It’s hard to spend the money, not knowing if you can get it back. We are at the mercy of the weather. When it rains, you’ve suddenly lost 50 percent of your

reservations.

It’s extremely hard to break even on the small numbers of tables that we have for outdoor seating. Our food is so complicated that we still need the same number of kitchen staff if we do 90 guests or if we do 20 guests. There is no way to cut them, so therefore out labor cost is 50 percent of sale. _WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN AS WE HEAD INTO WINTER? IS 25 PERCENT INDOOR DINING ALONG WITH SOME OUTDOOR SPACE SUSTAINABLE? _

_

_This is definitely the biggest challenge. It’s hard for people to eat outside in the cold. However, I agree that we need to keep

everyone safe.

As a business owner, I want to be able to survive but I also want what best for everyone, so it’s tough to navigate the steps on indoor

dinning.

_YOUR DINING HOURS ARE LIMITED, WITH THE RESTAURANT CLOSED ON SUNDAYS AND MONDAYS, AND NOT OPEN FOR LUNCH. WHAT PROMPTED THESE DECISIONS?

_

We are located on a charming but very quiet street. It’s impossible for us to open for lunch and break even with the food and staff cost. If we were on Avenue B, that might work, but I am not sure if that is true either. We have tried to open Sundays but it was not successful. People love to eat Sunday brunch and comfort food, rather than exotic food. The truth is labor cost is so high that you can lose much more if you open on quiet days. _YOU ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD SOUNDTRACK PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE KEY TO A PLEASING RESTAURANT AMBIANCE?

__

_We are in a dense neighborhood, it’s so important for us to make sure the people who live nearby are not constantly bother by loud music and worse — bad music. As a diner, I also am completely turned off by terrible and loud music so that you have to scream to be

heard.

_NORMALLY, I ASK BUSINESS OWNERS ABOUT WHAT’S NEXT FOR THEM, WHAT THEIR PLANS ARE GOING FORWARD.  KNOWING THAT WE DON’T KNOW A LOT ABOUT HOW THE PANDEMIC AND ITS SURROUNDING ISSUES WILL PLAY OUT, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY AS WE LOOK TOWARD NEXT

YEAR? _

_

_Wow, this is a tough one to answer. I am very worried about the restaurant industry altogether. There are already so many closures and will be many more the next few months. In January and February of 2020, we were doing extremely well and thought that we are going to make it and become a neighborhood destination. But, of course, with the pandemic and now winter coming, it’s very scary. Our landlord is really nice, though, and has reached out to see how he can help us hang in there for the next four or five months. So, if we can keep the losses to a minimum and make it until April 2021, we might be OK. In the meantime, we can work on increasing our carry-out business , as that will be the only safe way for guest to enjoy our food without worrying too much about eating

inside.
