The new Soho location, situated at the corner of Bowery and Houston, was formerly occupied by vegan gastropub and brewery Belse. The freshly painted building now features a bright pink exterior and outdoor seating. According to its liquor license application, Spicy Moon plans to take over Belse’s enormous brewing equipment to possibly open a new vegan brewery.

Spicy Moon in addition runs an online shop selling merchandise and food products, including its popular Vegan Chili Oil and Vegan Spicy Mayo. Spicy mayo ©Spicy Moon Upon the restaurant’s soft first day earlier this week, Spicy Moon posted online: “S oft debut for our newest location 265 Bowery!
