Bits & Pieces (Openings, Closings, Plywood & Unpaid Bills Edition)
- Sakae Sushi (43rd btw. Lex+3rd), the conveyor belt sushi place from Singapore that was hoping to be open by the end of the year- looks nowhere close to being open (as you can tell from the photo taken above on Monday). I’m still super excited…
- Zen Burger (Lex btw. 44+45th) is saying they will open on January 3rd.
- I walked by a closed Blue Pig Ice Cream on Monday (43rd btw. Lex+3rd). Not sure if they are closed for good, or just for the winter- but the ConEd bill for $950 sitting on the floor just inside the door isn’t a good sign. *UPDATE* Blue Pig is back open.
Sohpie’s Cuban News, another Hing Won/Hop Won spinoff, and 2nd Ave. Deli stuff, after the jump…
- The Sophie’s Cuban on Madison btw. 33+34th will no longer be a Sophie’s Cuban starting January 1st. It will still serve Latin food, but it won’t be a Sophie’s franchise anymore. As one goes away, another will finally see the light. The new Sophie’s that has been in construction for awhile on 40th st. btw. 7+8th is supposed to open sometime in January. *Update* According to a commenter the Sophie’s on 56th btw. 5+6th will also no longer be a Sohpie’s after the new year.
- First Hing Won. Then Hop Won. Apparently there is also Kar Won on 60th btw. Lex+3rd.
- The 2nd Ave. Deli is now Open on 33rd btw. Lex+3rd. Gothamist had the preview photos, Eater had the salami cutting ceremony, NYMag has the video, and EIT had a photo of the line. Too bad the prices don’t really pass the Midtown Lunch standards…

It looks like Hop Won and Kar Won have essentially similar prices (low) while Hing Won is significantly more expensive. The West Side has higher overhead or what?
