A new restaurant will offer sit-down service and catered-lunch delivery next door to The Grand along Market Street in downtown New Albany.
Bistro New Albany opens its doors and its patio seating at 10 a.m. Monday for lunch and a limited bar menu, said co-owner Dave Himmel. Dinner service will follow a month later; the restaurant has a capacity of 120 patrons.
The “approachable upscale-casual menu” will include a lot of local products, Himmel said. Kentucky bison burgers, smoked chicken wraps, peel and eat shrimp, and fried fish will be served, as well as vegetarian entrees and desserts.
Wines will come exclusively from the Carroll Wine Company, and beers from the New Albanian Brewing Company and Bluegrass Brewing Company will join domestics and imports.
Customers can call or fax boxed-lunch orders to the restaurant and have them delivered.
The restaurant will operate from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday in May, then 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday after that, Himmel said.
Conceived in January, the restaurant was to open Feb. 6, but that event was scuttled amid former co-owner Greg Merz’s health problems. Merz has since sold his interest to city resident Himmel and co-owner Dave Clancy of Louisville.
Bistro New Albany is at 148 E. Market St. Call 812-949-5227 or fax 812-949-5228.

New Albany council opposes two low-income developments
Councilman Greg Phipps said the measure was changed because there could be “some legal issues” with the way it was originally written. He said regardless, such a resolution that targets low-income developments intimates underlying stereotypes to the community even if it’s not the intention of those who supported the measure.

Council considers opposing low-income developments
Councilman John Gonder said he supports a system that would allow the city to cap sewer credits for low-income housing and give preference to the New Albany Housing Authority.
He conceded his wife does sit on the housing authority board, but believes the city should give favor to the entity when it comes to low-income lodging because it has to meet federal guidelines. - News and Tribune briefs for Feb. 6, 2012
