In Search of Kosher Operator for East Broadway

Bowery Boogie reports  plans are in the works for a Kosher restaurant at 171 East Broadway on the Lower East Side.

“Spearheading the effort is Madison Jackson developer Michael Bolla, who is single-handedly angling for the cultural restoration of Jewish Lower East Side. He enlisted longtime business partner Ron Castellano for the endeavor. The local architect, whose conversion credits include the Jewish Forward Building and the forthcoming Jarmulowsky Bank hotel, spent $1.5 million restoring the space. Both are now on the prowl for potential investors and operators.”
