I always deemed it a peculiar location for a restaurant. Before Latham house that space was essentially a bodega for the occupants of the building and there was a waterfall in the lobby.

Yeah it’s a bit removed from the pedestrian plaza

The rent should be cheaper, but I'd bet the landlord is charging full foot traffic ped plaza prices

Edit: Isn't this the landlord that is also threating to go belly up because Elon stopped paying rent on twitter buildings, and it's the same realty group? Who knows how that effects the outlook of commercial ground floor tenants

I still miss the bodega around the corner from there next to the former subway and across from the former Hard Grove.

Oh I totally missed this, I’ve been in JC off and on since 2004 and moved around a bit. When I lived on Mercer (2004-2009) I used to visit that bodega almost daily. I can’t remember when it closed but it was still there when I moved back in 2016.
