EAT: PEQUE TAPAS TO OPEN ON 145TH STREET

Back at the old Mountain Bird space at 145th Street between 7th and 8th Avenue,  a more formal sign has appeared announcing the arrival of a tapas bar which had a public notice for a serving alcohol a few months back.  There actually is not a lot of stellar tapas options uptown so Peque could fill the void and will have to be exceptional since the block is a destination location.  Mountain Bird proved that it could be done but the small eatery that now has a popup in East Harlem was considered one of the best new restaurants in the city when it debuted in 2013.
