The owner of Angelina Cafe, Rafik Bouzgarrou, is considering crossing the street to new digs.
A construction worker renovating the interior of 37 Avenue A (just next door to Essex Card Shop) told a tipster that the small restaurant was moving in. Reached by telephone, Mr. Bouzgarrou made it clear he would rather not be talking about the possibility of a new location.
“It’s not a sure thing,” he said. “A deal is not done. Please don’t ruin it.”
Meanwhile, construction workers at a salon slated to open next door to the possible Angelina location — that’s a busy block! — say that Joyful Nail should be open in about a week.
