Wolfnights Now Open at 99 Rivington Street
Eleven months ago, a fire ravaged the ground level of 99 Rivington Street, forever sidelining cheap-eats joint Three Monkeys. Undeterred by the tragedy, owner Itai Afek returned to the scorched earth several months later to begin work on its likeminded successor. Wolfnights. It’s a wrap.

Mid-July was the big reveal of Wolfnights, complete with plywood and a videogame-esque banner hanging from the facade. From then on, work progressed at a fairly gradual pace. September brought word of an October opening, yet that didn’t happen. That day finally arrived on Monday evening. The wolf is ready to feed.

The interior boasts more of a rustic gourmet decor, yet much like its predecessor, doesn’t have much in the way of seating. There’s barstool dining and a pair of swinging benches chained by the windows. Patrons can wolf down “gourmet wraps” at Wolfnights alongside a helping of wine and beer. Moreover, ingredients are pitched as completely natural and organic (i.e. beef sans hormones).
