Coming soon signage spotted for Plado on 2nd Street
Renovations continue over at 192 E. Second St. between Avenue A and Avenue B. Yesterday, EVG regular Salim spotted the signage for the new occupant — Plado, a Mediterranean-themed small-plates restaurant … The owners here also operate Vite Vinosteria, an Italian restaurant/wine bar in Astoria. According to their questionnaire at the CB3 website for a beer-wine license from last summer, Plado will have 19 tables to accommodate 75 diners as well as an eight-seat bar. Their proposed hours of operation are listed as 10 a.m. to midnight daily.The previous tenant was the gay bar Stairs, which closed as quietly as it arrived. Until December 2013, the space was home for 18 years to Il Bagatto.
