Caffe Vita and Via Tribunali Opening on Ludlow Tonight

Posted on: March 12th, 2012 by

Little Seattle is ready to go on Ludlow Street.  The neons, those of the animated variety, were finally fired up late last week, signaling the long-awaited opening of two Pacific Northwest establishments on the Lower East Side.

Thursday evening was the soft opening for both Caffe Vita (124 Ludlow) and Via Tribunali (122 Ludlow) hosting an exclusive friends and family event. The weather was balmy and the restaurant bumping. Windows were open exposing the parties inside.  We were turned away at the door and told that Little Seattle collectively opens to the neighborhood tonight. For those keeping score at home, nineteen months have elapsed between announcement and delivery (Pike Street Fish Fry didn’t make the cut).

How do you feel about the invasion of both businesses and their animated neons?

    Whoever lives above that neon is going to need to invest in thicker shades!

    We live above the Caffe Vita neon sign and I have to say the owners/staff have been respectful about turning off the sign by 9pm,at least during the week.However,living above a coffee shop is no picnic.The strong coffee fumes/odor which infiltrates our apartment beginning at 6:30am is a
    little too much at times.
