A Sneak Peek Inside MáLà Project, a New Spicy Chinese Spot in East Village

Here is a look around MáLà Project, a new East Village Chinese restaurant specializing in dry pot cooking. Occupying the space that last housed South Brooklyn Pizza on First Avenue, MáLà also annexed an adjacent space to create a restaurant with two entrances — one leading to the bar and another to a long, narrow dining room. There is no alcohol yet, so BYOB/W, but otherwise the restaurant is ready, willing , and able to satisfy your dry pot needs. Take a look at the space above and the menu below. If you stop by this week do let us know what you think.
