The last week of the December is not a standard time to open a restaurant, so we were surprised to see the newly unveiled 111 First Avenue. The space, which promises Small Plates and Wine, is putting the finishing touches on the interior and looks set to open any day now. That's great news for fans of, well, small plates and wine. And if you are one of the many who have recently been laid off and are looking for work, that sign on the door says the restaurant is hiring.
