Everyone is waiting for those space-bird, sculptural door frames next to Cafe Henri to open up with the latest great LIC restaurant. But these things take time, apparently. As we wait for things like financing and the economy to help restauranteurs do their thing.

LICNYC took a visit recently and talked to the artists who has made that space his studio for years. He's still in there. Meaning the restaurant is still in the offing.

Anyone know more?
