Way back in 2007, work began on converting a former cleaners into a new Nigerian restaurant. The only problem was someone forgot to get approval from both the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Department of Buildings. Needless to say, the job was shut down and the site was dead for more than a year. In recent weeks, though, work has started back up and last week the new LPC-compliant exterior began to show its face. Anyone know if it’s still going to be a Nigerian place or something else?
