Bits and Pieces of Bowery Charmer Peels Sold at Auction

Yesterday was the public auction for Peels, the Bowery restaurant from Taavo Somer and William Tigertt that closed last week. A reader sends in this pic of the exterior, and the restaurant's former pastry chef Shuna Lydon tweeted this photo of a man inspecting a Champagne bucket. Like its dearly departed Bowery sibling Pulino's, Peels opened three and a half years ago to tidal waves of hype and solid reviews, then the buzz died down as the foodie flocks moved onto the next big thing. Later this year, Andrew Carmellini, Luke Ostrom, and Josh Pickard will open an Italian restaurant called Bar Primi in this space.
