A tipster wrote in earlier this week with news that a new restaurant was in the works at 687 6th Avenue in Greenwood Heights in the former Kitchen Bar digs. Seems he wasn’t the only one to notice the new sign above the door: A commenter on Brooklynian notes that the folks behind the coffee shop down the street were planning some kind of organic restaurant for the space.

I walked by this place last evening and it appeared to be doing a great business. I was told that the “official” opening was July 1. Folks at the unofficial version were having a good time!
One of the owners of southside coffee, Ben Jones, is opening Lot 2 with a partner, Katie Dyer. She has previously owned restaurants. The chief, Scott, worked at Gramercy Tavern.
Ben was teasing me with a few of the menu selections this morning like one menu item called “low and slow”- a braised lamb, braised beef brisket, braised pork medley. They will be doing the curing of their own meats in house, as well.
Can’t wait. (opens in two weeks!)
Good riddance, that place really went to hell the past few months. Hope it’s not the same owners with a new design.
Was speaking with the guy who was working on it- think it’s just one of the Southside coffee guys with another set of partners. He mentioned something about the chef from the Grammercy Tavern. At any rate, we’ll be very excited for this neighborhood space to have a restaurant again!
