[Chef Niloc]

Word travel fast, I only told one person!
Yes I'm opening a new place. I started about 2 months ago. The the B. S. Work is done. This Wednesday the fun starts, putting the kitchen together!! Have 80k worth of equipment siting in boxes right now. I should be open by May 1st.
With this new forum and all I got the idea to do a " new restaurant, W.I.P." thread, kinda like the knife makers do when they make a knife.

Word might travel fast but it didn't travel too far though. Haha

Man, I sure don't want to think what it must be like to open a restaurant, I wish you much luck! And yes please, a WIP thread would be welcome and would fit right in here in this section.

 

[chefjbs]

Hope to make it to your place Chef. We try to hit NYC once or twice a year.

Nopp, casual waterfront catering to nautical diners. I.E. Free parking for cars and boats, a rarity in NY.
& don't worry if ya get to drunk & can't make it home B/C I'm building it in a old motel. I'm turning the rooms into "chic" retro 1970's Vagus look

Staten Island, Manhattan Island, Long Island-We are drowning in it.

 

[Dave Martell]

Yeah but wheres the motel?

 

[Chef Niloc]

Not NYC Long Island, 30 min from NYC.

 

[JohnnyChance]

wow awesome. how many rooms? nice "archway" over the entrance.

 

[ThEoRy]

Not NYC Long Island, 30 min from NYC.

Holy **** that is some serious seriousness!!

 

[Dave Martell]

Colin are you kidding us?

 

[Chef Niloc]

No, that's a old pic before the renovation. I only own 1/2 the restaurant, not the whole "hotel" I call it a Motel because the entrance to the rooms is only from the out side. It only 80 rooms, old place had 180 but all the wall were ripped out & the rooms made bigger. The back 2 building are no longer there, boat slips were put in. The pool is also no longer there, it was filled in back in the 80's, owner at the time did it to drop the insurance.

 

[JohnnyChance]

So when are you guys hoping to be up and running?

 

[Chef Niloc]

May 1st

 

[apicius9]

Very cool. If I make it out there later this year, I will pre-order a room and the wine list

[Crazy Cutter]

Wow, that's a fine looking place Colin, you're gonna have to post some more up to date pix, have you got a website up and running for it yet?

Jim

 

[WildBoar]

Sounds like a cool -- and demanding -- project. Good luck, and look for the humor whenever there's a misstep in the construction process. It will help keep you sane

 

[Dave Martell]

Colin, good thing you're crazy because you'll need to be for this one.

 

[sudsy9977]
