Vacancy Poll: What Would You Like to See?

Newly re-designed La Bottega leaves a gap in Merrick strip mall.

 

Recently, it was announced that La Bottega would re-open with a smaller location.

According to the owner, Eric Chosed of the TAC Corporation, which owns the strip mall space, the new layout of the eatery left another vacancy that will need to be filled.

"It is taking half of the space that it used to have, which will result in one small vacancy that we are hoping will rent quickly," Chosed said.

What would you like to see in this space? What do you feel would be a good fit for the community?

Tell us in the comment section.

 

Patch will regularly spotlight vacant commercial properties in effort to initiate a discussion within the community about alternative uses for these abandoned places. If you'd like to know more about a specific property, please comment below.

I would love to see a kosher restaurant. Merrick has many families that keep kosher and it would be wonderful for us!

I agree with your reasoning, however the original space was very small and I cannot imagine the new space having enough room for a full fledged restaurant
