A new all-day cafe and bar is in the works for the Lower East Side.
Meanwhile will be located at 192 Allen St., between Houston and Stanton streets, according to a business filing with Manhattan Community Board 3.
The new space will be able to accommodate up to 30 guests to sit along with a standing bar.
Meanwhile will serve breakfast, pastries and baked goods during the day before transitioning to pub-style fare at night, alongside a coffee and cocktail program.
Standouts include a gochujang-brushed bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a poppy seed roll with chipotle mayo; tater tachos topped with cheese, black beans, house chili and pickled jalapeños; and a shrimp po’boy featuring jumbo fried shrimp, remoulade, lettuce and tomato.
Alongside its food and drink offerings, Meanwhile plans to host a rotating lineup of curated weekly events, including live music, comedy and improv shows, and spoken word and poetry readings.
The team is currently working through the permitting and licensing process.
Once open, Meanwhile will operate daily from 8am to 3am.
