Despite the fact that Verve lasted just one year at the former Juniper Grille spot on Carnegie, there was no shortage of interest in the available restaurant.

Well, consider the space officially “off the market.”

As soon as January 24, Carnegie Kitchen and Dining (1332 Carnegie Ave.) will be open for business. Operated by chef-owner Jeff Uniatowski, former executive chef for the House of Blues, the restaurant will focus primarily on breakfast and lunch, a departure from the opening tactic of Verve owner Brian Okin.

  1. WTF is an “upscale soup”? Ah yes, the ever so trendy “frites”…….. Wish everyone thats jumping on the “foodie” bandwagon would jump off a cliff.

  3. Not sure what an “upscale soup” is either, but why are you whining about a restaurant that actually wants to put something fresh and different on their lunch menus? If you don’t like “foddie”-type restaurants, stop bitching and go back to your Subway–believe they still have their “$5 footlong” promo going. Probably the only thing you eat anyway.
