Restaurateur Behind Old John’s Diner Revival Is Considering Bringing Back Odessa | Eater NY

"I've learned that a veteran restaurateur with a soft spot for diners is considering reviving the shuttered Ukrainian diner Odessa in the East Village: Louis Skibar of Toloache Restaurant Group said Odessa is “next on the list” after his resurrection of Upper West Side diner Old John’s, other local restaurateurs have expressed interest, and a potential deal may already be in the works; the diner closed amid confusion in July 2020, has sat dormant for nearly a year, and was listed on Craigslist last month with an asking price of $400,000." - Erika Adams
