Suba

Suba, Yann de Rochefort and Seamus Mullen's Spanish restaurant, went up for sale in January 2009, barely breaking even by de Rochefort's account¹. The owners wanted to open another Boqueria that year, just not here: a Boqueria has to have its bar and dining area in one room, and Suba couldn't give it that¹.

The Spitzer's Corner team turned 109 Ludlow into Los Feliz, a gussied-up taqueria and tequila bar with a clubby lower level and private rooms, set to open on September 8, 2009^{2, 3}. Time Out found black tin ceilings and worn wood chairs in the dining room, a downstairs barroom covered in murals and paved with dark cobblestones, and more than 100 tequilas, plus cocktails like a hibiscus margarita⁴.

The last we hear of Los Feliz is November 2014, when the community board was due to consider a change in its ownership⁵. In August 2025 SH NY Hospitality Group signed a 10-year lease at 109 Ludlow for Tin's, a sheng jian bao restaurant and cocktail bar that was due to open in the first quarter of 2026⁶. As with Los Feliz, the lease takes in the downstairs: 3,600 square feet on the ground floor, the lower level and a sub-lower level⁶.
