Description

Spouses and business partners Jesse Merchant Zuñiga and Javier Zuñiga, alums of the Wildair and Contra universe (where they initially met), launched their well-received ice cream brand Bad Habit during the pandemic. Now, the duo is opening their first-ever restaurant, in part to showcase those sweet rewards. By day, Caleta will serve cartons of Bad Habit ice cream to-go — and by night, it will offer a New American small plates menu to pair with wine, cartons of their ice cream, as well as desserts that use Bad Habit product like baked Alaska. Caleta will also be the official production home for Bad Habit. 131 Avenue A, between St. Mark’s Place and East Ninth Street, East Village
