Apiary

Look. No one wants to deathwatch a little East Village straggler like Apiary. They mean well, Scott Bryan is a well regarded and very talented chef. But death stench can be identified all the way up past Nevada Smiths. It's an overdesigned, not all that welcoming little restaurant with prices and ambitions that are just this side of too high. Plastered between an art store and Village Pourhouse and a cheap Thai place in what used to be a Taco Bell, it's just not the space for the clientele they need to survive. And time and time again the masses will choose the rambunctious, always crowded, and often bland restaurant The Smith when pregaming before Webster Hall or the Third Avenue Lowes.
