... and by the way, I'm not married to the NoBatt neighborhood name. I'd be fine with FiDi (financial disctrict) or even BeTri (which could either be Behind Trinity Church or Below Tribeca). Anyway, the reason this might matter at all is that there's a liquote license application notice in the window of the ground floor corner of 90 Washington, which heretofore had a sign offering restaurant space.
So, on each corner of Washington and Rector will be
Romi,
Moran's,
Giovani's Atrium, and now this new place. And this new place, provided it's not another damn deli, will have a nice bit of sidewalk patio space there. Add to that the mini-strip on Greenwich and maybe we have a serious hub for neighborhood nightlife forming.
I live at 90 Washington, and several months ago the building newsletter said that we would soon see a bar in that space, owned by the same people who do Merchants. Apparently the space was to feature about twice as much outdoor space as indoor, so we figured that it would be opening soon to take advantage of the summer business. However, work has been proceeding at a pace slower than a snail, leading us to believe that the deal had fallen through. It was good to see the application, as it is a sign that things are moving, albeit at bureaucratic pace.
