The Smile

Catering company owner and daughter of artist Brice Marden, Melia, is going into business with a few of the guys from Earnest Sewn to open a café/boutique where Double Crown once was/was going to be. Café dishes will trend towards the Mediterranean-ish; no telling what kind of wares they're going to be selling, but it'll probably have something to do with jeans (the vague website describes it as a "mixed-use concept store," for what it's worth). Buzz around the place is soft right now, but expect that to change: location's perfect, and executed correctly, this could become the Next Nolita Hotspot.
