From Brownstoner.com today:
"Over the past year or so, the intersection of Classon and Greene Avenues has become a surprisingly vibrant little food hub, especially given what a wasteland it used to be around there: Joining the Cuban place Pilar have been the Vietnamese sandwich spot Tigerlily and the Italian cafe Nero Doro; yesterday we reported the Mexican place that's in the pipeline on Greene just in from Classon. In the coming months, the corner will continue its meteoric rise with the arrival of a wood-fired pizza restaurant. Called Speedy Romeo, the new joint at 367 Classon Avenue will also feature wood-fired steaks ad seafood as well as hot and cold antipasti. Partners Todd Feldman and chef Justin Bazdarich (a Jean Georges alum) tell us the restaurant should open sometime this summer. You'll be able to get a taste of their fresh-made mozzarella at The Flea starting April 30."

"There's been work going down at 291 Greene Avenue for a little while now, and we were finally able to pop inside and see what's up: It turns out the small space is being transformed into a Mexican restaurant called Salva Vida. The plans are to serve tacos, burritos, soups and salads, and it should open in about two weeks. " (Brownster.com 4/15/11)
