Top Chef's Nikki Cascone to Open 'Global Jewish' Resto

At Monday night's Community Board 3 meeting, the committee approved Little Printz Cafe for their "global Jewish" restaurant proposed for 40 Avenue B in the old Russo's spot. She wasn't at the meeting, but PR confirms a commenter tip that Top Chef alum and the owner of the recently closed 24 Prince is the woman in charge here. He says she recently formed the "Printz Group," which will "deliver full-scale hospitality events, introduce new restaurant concepts and offer restaurant operations consulting," in addition to opening this yet-to-be-named Avenue B project, set to debut this fall. Second time's a charm, Nikki.
