I can't find an official website for Commerce, but from what I have read, it is opening tonight in the West Village, filling the shoes of the former Grange Hall (and before that, Blue Mill). It may be new, but apparently the appearance is a restoration of Grange Hall, complete with "intricate tile work, original murals by artist David Joel, restored booths originally made from English Chestnut and a stunning art deco Brunswick bar circa 1941."My favorite quote comes from the Daily Candy newsletter:
"June, a nice lady who's lived upstairs for almost 50 years, says it reminds her of the old old Blue Mill."
Cheers to June. Let's go get food and drink, and then knock on her door to say hello.
50 Commerce Street, between Bedford and Barrow Streets (212-524-2301). Opening Thursday with a 20 percent discount for the first week.
