La Royale

There's a new sign on on the awning of the ever-mysterious Mezini, at 492 Fifth. Mezini leased its space at 492 in 2010, and finally opened in June of 2013 as a higher-end seafood restaurant. Within a few months the place had devolved into a hookah joint, with curtains kept permanently closed. Mezini shut up shop last summer. The current sign indicates a move to a standard bar concept: beer and burgers.





















Let's look back in pictures:


January 2013 - Mezini Opening Soon!




























A month after opening - cheap beer!




























January 2014 - Hookah Available Here!





















March '15 - exhortations to potential customers





















August '15 - the shrubbery is gone
