Restaurant Bits and Bites
January is a slow time in the service industry. This is the perfect time of year to use the gift cards from local restaurants that you may have gotten for Christmas. Troupial has closed…temporarily; the Venezuelan restaurant was located on West 42nd St but will continue to have a presence at the Forsyth Farmers’ Market while they look for a new home. Starting in February, Over Yonder will be open for lunch at noon on weekdays. Vici Rooftop at 411 W Charlton St, near MLK, will also start lunch service Wednesday through Saturday 11am-3pm. And to celebrate their one year anniversary, they are offering $1 cocktails on Fridays in January. The Hawthorn Minibar & Lounge, a cozy gothic neighborhood bar recently opened on MLK near Rancho Alegre. And finally, Sobremesa has brought on new partner Jason Restivo of the greatly missed Atlantic (it’s former space is now Ardsley Station).
