New Restaurant Teasers – I Love the Upper West Side

Despite the seemingly non-stop closings, a number of restaurant owners have signed leases and are opening soon (or at some point in the future).

Heres some early (but limited) info we have about UWS restaurants on the horizon:

A new restaurant called Chick Chick is opening at 618 Amsterdam Avenue, at the corner of 90th Street. This was formerly home to Coffee Berry, which closed in late 2018. The owners of the upcoming eatery are Jun Ha Park and Bomee Chu, who are also the owners of Chelseas Jun-Men Ramen Bar. Weve connected with them, and while they were able to confirm all of the above, theyve held off on providing further info about Chick Chick for now. Theyll provide us with more info soon. Thanks to Upper West Sider for the tip.

We were able to connect with the owner who tells us they will be offering take-out and delivery beginning next weekend. We asked about whether or not a physical location for onsite dining was in the works, and the owner told us it would be nice to have in the nearby future but that there are no immediate plans to offer this. View their IG page here.

Tipster Upper West Sider also informed us that a new restaurant has signed a lease at 225 Columbus Avenue, between 70th and 71st Streets. This was the former home of Bistro Cassis, which closed earlier this year. Construction work for the new restaurant has begun. We reached out to the broker who rented the space, Rafe Evans of Walker Malloy, who believes this will be some type of reincarnation of Bistro Cassis, with some of the same players involved. The listing brochure indicated that the asking rent was $19,250 per month.
