LOWER MANHATTAN — Cakes are out and bahn mi pork sliders — and a pool table — are in.
Lot 77, an expansive cafe and bakery that opened in February at 77 Fulton St., has revamped its concept, moving away from its emphasis on desserts and recasting itself as a hip coffee shop by day and pan-Asian gastropub at night.
The eatery — overhauled by restaurant developer John Hamancho, who also opened the Lower East Side's Mighty Brew Bros and Spreadhouse Coffee — is now serving up gourmet coffee drinks, along with a selection of fresh baked goods and sandwiches, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., then switching focus to Asian-influenced pub fare from 5 p.m. to midnight.
New bites on the evening menu include a variety of sliders — the bahn mi pork, as well as chili crab and coconut curry short rib, along with other small plates, like the spicy tuna lettuce wrap and Malaysian-style chicken wings. Prices range from about $3 to $15.
A spokeswoman for Lot 77 said the owners decided to change up their concept to make better use of their expansive, 3,500-foot space.
Along with new food, the back area of the eatery now has more of lounge vibe, with a bar, though they are currently only serving up beer and wine as per their liquor license. They've also added a pool table, dart board and a shuffleboard table.
Lot 77, at 77 Fulton St., is open 7 a.m. to midnight.
