The food prep and ghost kitchen company ChefScape will open a bar and lounge on the southwest corner of Canal.
The catering hall had hoped to expand to the first floor of 2 Desbrosses as well as take over the restaurant space at 205 Hudson.
The former American Flatbread space at Canal got its liquor license in 2018, only to be now tied up in many layers of disagreement between the two original founding partners.
Also on Community Board 1's September agendas: Worth Street wine bar; Spring Studios wants looser regulations; pedestrian plaza between Church and Sixth; Issey Miyake signage; Chefscape food hall; the jail tower; much more.
"Chefscape is a food incubator company that provides local entrepreneurs an environment to successfully bring their restaurant concepts to market," emailed co-founder Bella Karakis. "To assist our members, we plan to open a food hall, marketplace and bar." / 2 comments
