Though the owners of The Cock aren’t saying anything about their possible move to 25 Avenue B, we’ve learned a little bit more about the dive’s new location via a liquor license questionnaire posted to Community Board 3’s website.
It seems they’re taking the basement space that, appropriately enough, used to belong to another East Village nightlife institution, Save the Robots. There’ll be a nightly door charge for “drag shows, art performances.” And Australian meat pies from Tuck Shop will be sold during its proposed business hours of 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. daily.
That isn’t the only interesting questionnaire now up at Community Board 3’s website. Here’s what else we discovered (all of this information is, of course, subject to approval and may change):
- David Hitchner aims to open a 20-seat wine bar at 98 Avenue C, adjacent his other spots Alphabet City Wine Co. and Alphabet City Beer Co. It’ll serve wine from taps (no bottles) and a limited food menu of olives and nuts, Spanish anchovies, pickled vegetables sourced from Brooklyn Brine, cured meat, and antipasti.
- Luis Ulloa, a chef who previously served at Upper East Side’s buzzy Jones Wood Foundry and the East Village’s The Winslow aims to take over the Munch Gallery space at 245 Broome. Butcher Block will offer a “bistro sandwich menu” and a “daily farmers menu.”
- Stefan Jonot, a former owner of Les Enfants Terribles, plans to open a “contemporary French bistro, based on seasonal, locally sourced and organic products” at 16-20 Jefferson Street. The “affordably priced” dishes will include steak tartare, a daily roast, a seasonal shepherd’s pie, duck breast medallions, and vegetarian couscous. There’ll be pastries from Bakehouse for breakfast, sweet and savory crepes for lunch, and smoothies, juices, and seasonal cocktails to drink.
