Potential Restaurant Barbershop Replacing Mercury Dime

Fork in the Road wanders by the old Mercury Dime space, Sasha Petraske's coffee shop that closed this summer, and learns, "It's going to become a barbershop that will also offer massage. 'But we may also open a restaurant upstairs...'" Huh. A few issues:

1) Barbershop-restaurant?
2) If the neighbors wouldn't let Sasha Petraske sell wine in the joint (even resorting to sandwich boards), is a quaint restaurant really going to fly?
3) This place is teeny tiny.
4) Won't the mingling barbicide, hot shaving cream, and roasted chicken smells be a concern?
Or maybe it will be the coolest thing to happen to East 5th Street.
Update: From the tipline: "I represent the barber shop, barbiere., that's taking over the mercury dime space. There will be no restaurant upstairs. Just wanted to clarify. Thanks." Ah well, was fun while it lasted.
