Said alc lic is still in pending status.

Paper covers the windows, so I could not view the progress.

Chuko still has lines for its ramen at its nearby location.

ive seen the inside, its coming along nicely, still has a ways to go. i think itll be as successful as the ramen

It is now mid April.

Does anyone know why this new location has yet to open?

i believe it's the same ol reasons for every new place, permits and construction running into unexpected delays. also conEd has been prioritizing storm repair over new biz hookups, so some new places are waiting on conEd to come by.

606 r&d's sister shop has been delayed 3 months for the same reasons. tho i hear they are hoping to open in 2-3 weeks.

I got to peak in the other day, and construction-wise they look like they're still mid-overhaul.  It looks like they're still a ways away from opening day.

I was wondering what was going on with that, and assumed that they'd hit either a permitting or a construction delay.  Can't wait to check them out when the store opens.

Staff was seen training in the new location tonight. It looks like they could open next weekend.

Everything appears in place. No construction tools visible.

Looks like they are open. Early reviews are positive.
