Rockaways Concessions to Return; Little One Delayed

ROCKAWAYS ? Decimated by Hurricane Sandy, the concessions in Parks Department-owned buildings in the Rockaways will return this summer. While the boardwalk itself will take more time, the Parks Department will rebuild the buildings that house spots like Rockaway Taco, with little mini-boardwalk platforms in front. [Capital NY]

TRIBECA ? Little One, a restaurant supposedly coming to the corner of West Broadway and White, might not be happening. The person behind it has apparently left the project and the website has been taken down, but no other word. [Tribeca Citizen]

LOWER EAST SIDE ? Co-Op Food and Drink in the Hotel on Rivington is launching a new Southern brunch, by new chef (and South Carolina native) James London. The brunch is available Saturday and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. and features Southern staples like chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and biscuits and gravy. [EaterWire]

BOOK CLUB ? Eater National previews this Spring's cookbooks and food books. This season's batch includes books from chef Daniel Humm, the Cook It Raw chefs event, Union Square Hospitality Group, and, of course, Eater patron saint Gwyneth Paltrow. [Eater National]
