Neighbors:

Orologio restaurant at 162 Avenue A is now for sale.  A restauranteur from Portland, OR has proposed to buy it and the liquor license and transform this neighbrohood restaurant into another very expensive, high-end tourist destination restaurant and bar called the Beagle. Here is a sample of items from the menu:

Braised and Pressed Pig Head - $16

Bacon Wrapped Rabbit Loin - $18

Roasted Bone Marrow w/foie gras - $18

Pan Roasted Squab - $27

Braised Lamb Neck - $25

Flat Iron Steak - $31

"The Tuxedo" - Boodles Gin, Dolin Vermouth, Luxardo Maraschino, Pernod Absinthe - $15

The menu clearly shows this is not a business that will serve the needs of the community and will bring more cabs, limos and crowds of tourists to Ave. A b/t 10th & 11th.  Please join us in opposing the opening of this establishment.  We feel the neighborhood needs businesses that serve the needs of residents, not tourists.
