Inside Bar Bianchi, a Chic Italian Trattoria Bringing Neighborhood Charm to Its Corner of the East Village
Golden Age Hospitality is expanding its reach in the East Village — again. Owner Jon Neidich opened Monsieur on East Fourth Street with Baz Luhrmann earlier this year, followed by a new rendition of Tompkins Square Park neighborhood-dive bar Lucy’s on Avenue A. Now, just in time to welcome New York’s warmer months, he’s opened the doors to Bar Bianchi a short walk away from both. “We weren’t actively looking to go long on the East Village,” says Neidich, who’s also behind stylish downtown haunts including The Nines, Acme and Le Dive. “But there were some great spaces and great opportunities, and I do think that the East Village is the neighborhood that post-pandemic has taken a little bit to come back,” he adds. “Whenever something goes through a little bit of a moment, it’s prime for revitalization. And as a New Yorker and someone who lived here for the first five years when I moved back from college, I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it.” Bar Bianchi, a partnership with Paradise Projects, is located where Avenue A meets East Houston Street, in a corner space that evokes Italian “aperitivo culture” with a refined but laid-back setting.
