Momofuku Noodle Bar Poised for Cocktails

We all know that Momofuku Ssam Bar is now bringing the cocktail fury, and it seems that the original Noodle Bar could be next to get the full cocktail treatment. According to CB 3's pending June Calendar, David Chang's Momo Noodle Bar will be appearing before the board to request an upgrade to a full liquor license, meaning that mixology master Don Lee's cocktail program will be jumping over one block to the flagship on First Avenue. And ice will included. Everybody start to freak out now! We would bother to confirm with Chang and Co. ourselves, but everyone else will just wind up stealing it and making it their own story, so why bother. Just remember you read it hear first.

Momofuku Cocktail Lounge? Indeed!

Just when we were ready to bury the cocktail movement, someone comes along to potentially breathe life back into the scene. According to our friends at Eater, David Chang is in the process of reconfiguring Momofuke Ssam to install a cocktail bar in the front section. As for the drinks, "PDT's Don Lee is indeed in charge of the cocktail program and that he should be ready with a menu in the next week or so." We have no doubt that the introductory price will be in the $15 a pop range, which we hate, but we are expecting some boundary pushing combos. Eyes open.
