"The building at the corner of First Avenue and Saint Marks Place has seen a lot of movement in recent years. The Wild Son, a cafe, started in this location in 2020, then moved one door down to make room for Bar Lula, a cocktail bar that opened the following year. The bar closed at the start of the year, says owner Robert Ceraso. His restaurant group, Endless Hospitality, is opening an American bar and grill called the Lions in its place later this month." - Luke Fortney
