History

Candy and soda pop on Orchard Street

We called Sweet Paradise Lounge a new dive with a candy and soda pop theme, from the owners of Welcome to the Johnsons. It closed over a weekend in March 2012, while the owners of Fat Radish planned a new project for the space1. The address, now listed as 14B Orchard Street, belongs to Bar Belly, a cocktail and oyster bar2.
