Soho’s 24-hour newcomer, Delicatessen, got us wondering what happened to Bun’s plan to stay open around the clock. They were originally going to go all night starting June 1, but that was delayed till the end of the month when freeloaders ate the place into the ground. Now here we are in mid-July. Owner Tony Lam tells us that he’s still taking care of stiffed customers, and he won’t go 24/7 till August. He better update that “June 24/7” plaque, or at least downgrade it from four stars.

A spankin' new plaque indicates that Bun has presumptuously awarded itself four stars (!!!!) — we can only assume the comedy and tragedy masks refer to those whose happiness turned to sorrow when their 1 a.m. reservations were canceled during the 24/7 trial run. Obviously it's time to check in on the little restaurant that could’s Sisyphean endeavor to never, ever close.

After breaking the news that Stephen Starr’s restaurant group was on the market, Gael Greene now tells us that Michael “Bun” Huynh has made a deal with the Main Street Group (Calle Ocho, Django, BLTPrime) to do “something delicious on the Upper West Side, possibly at Rain.” The chef, who always seems to be going to or from another project, will still be at Bun, as well as Mai House. At this rate, Huynh could have more Asian restaurants than Zak Pelaccio!
