JARMEL KIZEL DESIGNS THREE RESTAURANT PROJECTS

HACKENSACK AND LIVINGSTON, N.J., AND NEW YORK CITY — Livingston-based Jarmel Kizel Architects & Engineers has completed design work for three new restaurants. The first project is a 1,200-square-foot Bocconi Pasta Pronto & More, located at 363 Essex St. in Hackensack. The restaurant opened in June and is a prototype design for three or four more locations that are planned to open in New Jersey. The second project is Carmine’s Livingston, a 7,300-square-foot restaurant located at 405 Eisenhower Pkwy. in Livingston. The completed project consisted of the adaptive reuse of a former stagecoach stop that had later served as a tavern for 40 years until closing 7 years ago. The final project is a 7,300-square-foot T.G.I. Friday’s that will be located at 1780 Gun Hill Rd. in the Bronx, New York City. Completion is scheduled for this summer. Jarmel Kizel is completing the project on behalf of The Briad Group with assistance from Vornado Realty Trust, the owner of the strip center in which the restaurant pad site will be located.
