Pastis 2.0 Targets Late 2017 Opening, New Chef at The Queens Kickshaw, and More Intel

— La Mangeoire, the former home of acclaimed chef Christian Delouvrier, is now on the market, and so is Italian standby Scaletta on West 77th Street. Steve Cuozzo notes that both of these 30-year-old restaurants are still open for business. No word yet on when they will close.

— Another hot bit of intel from The Cuozzmeister: Pastis 2.0 is now slated to make its debut in late 2017. Keith McNally’s MePa gamechanger is going to reopen in the space at 52 Gansevoort Street that previously housed Gansevoort Market. Last summer, McNally remarked: "I'll be changing Pastis and it'll be quite different....I wouldn't be interested in reproducing the old Pastis. This is a very different time." Pastis 2.0 is now the second-most anticipated restaurant of the second half of 2017 (the first slot now and forever belongs to nearby Bourdain Market).
