Black Market

Details are hard to come by at this brand-new East Village hang—owner Johnny T (Niagara, Bowery Electric) isn't talking much— but we can tell you this: Black Market—he's still toying with names, but seems to be zeroing in on this one— is taking over the now-closed Pizza Shop above T's speakeasy, Cabin Down Below. Oysters and burgers are the stars of the food menu, and there's a full cocktail list on its way. It's dim and sexy, and everyone is seated—no barstools here. If the type of crowd that haunts T's other joints (musicians, leather-clad hipsters, models, etc.) are any indication, place'll be a cool, hush-hush hit.
