Bowery Diner Removes Sidewalk Shed from 241 Bowery

It’s about time.  The tattered sidewalk shed has been promising a summer 2011 opening since its arrival at 241 Bowery six months ago.  But last night, the plywood was finally removed from the forthcoming Bowery Diner.  The official website and recently-created Yelp page don’t have much in the way of details on an official opening.  Yet judging by the progress here of late, it’s very soon. Like within the next couple weeks.

Workers were also seen pouring a new sidewalk out front, creating a prime target for the concrete carvers out there. Upon opening, this latest Mathieu Palombino endeavor will offer sustenance and sacrament 24/7, with breakfast served until 5 pm every day.
