Coming Soon:

  • After a long gestation period, NoLiTa's SoHo's Provence, now in the capable hands of Five Points and Cookshop patrons Vicki Freeman and Mark Meyer, will open next week.
  • Chickie Pig's Martin Kirschner tells us his LES pizzeria is still at least a month away from opening. Liquor license? "It's still pending. I don't like talking about it. It gives me bad karma."
