La Brea Dining Coming to 3rd Street, Surya To Shutter, The Tar Pit Opening Date

MID-CITY— So, the website is clearly not in English, but B+S shares that La Brea Dining is coming into the space between that big gray under construction behemoth and Surya on 3rd Street. However, do note that Surya will shutter mid-December after nine yeas of business and in its place comes The Burger Factory. [B+S]

MID-CITY— Last month brought a first sneak peek inside The Tar Pit, then last week the NYT broke the exciting news that Pegu Club's Audrey Saunders was on board with Mark Peel on the venture. Now LAW offers some updated photos and additional info that includes the December 7 opening date, plus Craig Russell as chef de cuisine and Marcos Tello as head bartender. [LAW]
