Hey Stew,

Any idea of when the "shelter" around the storefront will come off (for those of us who are low-key lookie-loos ;))?

Hi,

The "shelter" has no function at this point. The new front is installed. It's there to dissuade potential vandalism.

A few posts ago, ljr said that he/she was by during the day and just walked in. Apparently Vivian, our on-site manager and a great guy, didn't eat ljr for lunch :) Don't hesitate to say that I said it's OK, but I doubt that will be necessary. The crew are pretty proud of their work, and deservedly so.

So maybe just open the door and walk in (albeit past a bit of plastic at the moment), introduce yourself and have a look around. If you do, I should point out that the ceramic/stone floor is covered at the moment to protect it, but everything else is visible.

Onviously, the guys have work to do, but the occasional quick look around isn't going to disrupt anything.

Hi amsci,

I just realised that based on the history of our dealings with the local building inspector, I need to scotch my last post. It is entirely possible that he will slam us with another stop work order because, for example, you are on the property while our crew are doing what they are doing at the moment, which is painting and applying wallpaper.

I would be delighted to show you around if you contact me by personal message.

Stew

I didn't actually walk inside, I just peeked inside. You should keep the shed up to prevent vandalism for sure--I think it's pretty common unfortunately.

Stewart:
It is some time since I have met you - but we used to bump into each other over a drink in Manhattan.
Since then I have moved to Jackson Heights (4 years ago) and was delighted to see that a French/American restaurant was planning to open, and even more delighted to find that you are the culinary mover behind it.
I have been following this (sometimes painful) correspondence for some time and am REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to having an opening date to come and celebrate the birth of your new restaurant.
Every best wish - good luck.
Sandy

This appears to be a dead issue.  I doubt very seriously if Swim Two Birds will ever open.

O ye, of little fete! I dunno, the last glimpse I had of the (beautiful) interior it seems a little too far along to simply walk away from.

Party on, Stew!

Anyone have any updates regarding STB?  It seemed like he was almost ready to open.  So much time and investment to walk away.  Hope this succeeds as it offers something the neighborhood does not currently have.

The wallpaper scared everyone away.

stevn, you have a grand total of 5 posts on this site, and every single one is slightly obnoxious. Why bother?

Couple of weeks ago, the door was open and I saw walls and floors finished, no tables and chairs.  I really liked it, hope they will open soon.

Also looking forward to seeing it open.  Not to mention partaking of the fine cuisine within.    ;D

It looks like we'll be having three restaurant opening at about the same time within one block:  Swim Two Birds, Sagar Chinese and Romeo's Italian.
