"Over the past few weeks, she has revamped the interior and has changed the name to Le B, a restaurant 'with more of a downtown feel' the New York Times reports. Le B — opening for dinner on September 22 at 283 W. 12th Street, near Eighth Avenue — is a reference to the Beatrice Inn, the nearly 100 year-old restaurant and scenester clubhouse where Mar honed her style of cooking 15 years (and was the owner along the way).
