Well, maybe not the end of the bars on Spring Street, but I did walk to the end of Spring Street where it hits the Bowery. The Bowery is booming. I remember the good old days with the derelicts and missions. Now there is nothing but construction equipment as condominiums, co-ops, and apartment buildings are being constructed. Many of them on top of existing structures that primarily house restaurant equipment supply houses.

We got to see our good friends Sue Anne and Doug this weekend for the first time in what felt like ages. Brunch seemed to be the natural setting for a catch-up.

Chris Eddy and Clark Clark, the hip owners of the newly opened barmarché, met while working at Bungalow 8 where Clark (who moved to New York from Momo’s in London) was the Bar Manager, and Chris worked the crowds as GM. Their first project as a team, barmarche is a white-washed corner spot in the space that was most recently Café Lebowitz. They have kept the charming French door windows and vintage tin ceilings, but spruced up the design factor significantly, giving it a sleek and sexy Miami meets casual bistro vibe. On the night were there, flocks of Miu-Miu clad amazons were seated on the benches outside, smoking and chatting, and looking fiercely fabulous. And yet, while barmarche has its share of models and celebs tucked into snug banquettes and tightly spaced bistro tables, this is a place for all the neighborhood, which means that seated next to Tyler Florence and fans you’ll find couples awkwardly working through first dates (more cocktails people!), and flush-faced young parents with their newly hatched babes. How very sweet.
