Intel from the Street

"Signs of the Time," Gossips' post about the signs being proposed for new businesses in Hudson, inspired Mark Allen, creator of Are Hudson NY's Sidewalks Safe for NYC Hipsters? and other films about Hudson, to do some investigating. In particular, the sign shown below rang a bell. The name Savory Bites Deli seemed familiar to Allen, so he did some online sleuthing. 

It turns out there's a Savory Bites Deli in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, at 717 West 181th Street. The name could be just a coincidence. After all, there's an Asian restaurant on Lexington Avenue called LilliandLoo. But there is more evidence than just the name to connect what's planned for the former location of The Cascades with the deli in Washington Heights. Here's a picture of the interior of that deli, found online here.

Here's a picture of the interior at 407 Warren Street, taken by Allen one day last month when the door was standing open.

The similar ceiling light design suggests a connection between the two businesses that goes beyond sharing the same name. 

If this evidence persuades you that what's coming to 407 Warren Street is connected to the deli in upper Manhattan, you can check out Savory Bites Deli on Yelp. You'll find the menus there and maybe some clues to what the future holds for us.
