The Return of Red Star Bar, Silver Spurs Slasher Arrested, and More Intel

— Cozinha Latina has now fully transitioned back into its former identity, Red Star Bar. For a few months, this Greenpoint restaurant served Brazilian food from Shanna Pacifico along with tropical cocktails, but the chef and many of the key FOH team members left in January. Now it's back to serving beer and wings. Owner Eric Hall tells Greenpointers: "Sometimes you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Well, we’re back."

— Police arrested the 16-year-old who slashed a Silver Spurs busboy in the face last week. The teen, Dominico Howington, came into the Greenwich Village restaurant to ask for donations for his basketball team, and a busboy by the name of Bobby Barbot told him to leave.  The kid tried to punch the employee, but Barbot swung back and knocked him to the ground. Howington left the restaurant and returned a few hours later with a box cutter, which he used to slash Barbot in the face. The Silver Spurs employee got 147 stitches, and now Howington faces charges of criminal possession of a weapon and assault. Barbot tells DNAinfo: "I’m very happy because the cops did the work they had to do."
