A real live trailer parked in Soho? We didn't quite know what to expect either, so we headed to the northern tip of Petrosino Square at Lafayette Street and Cleveland Place to see for ourselves. And, from about a block away, walking south on Lafayette, we spotted the metallic silver trailer nestled between some trees on a sliver of concrete just large enough to accommodate it.

Lonely hearts can cheer up this Valentine's day with the chance to win a meal cooked especially for them by Room 4 Dessert's chef de cuisine, Bob Truitt. The restaurant emailed Gothamist with the dirty (delicious) details, describing the event:

The long, narrow, striated-wood counter at chef Will Goldfarb's serves 30, but at the brand new Room 4 Dessert, previously home to Bar Tonno and Bar Veloce, it's a sweets-only endeavor. Goldfarb, the former chef at Cru, known for spontaneous and experimental creations, brings us desserts in themes, like a curry-scented concoction named "Voyage to India," cotton candy and meringues ("Infance"), a vanilla coupe glacee with whiskey sabayon, and quartets of apples in various states (tatin, cider, tartare, and sorbet). Desserts are paired with wines, champagnes, and exotic teas which the newbie staff ever-so-excitedly places before you as though awaiting a reaction. Goldfarb is ever-present with an infectious dessert-making energy, riddled with both sugar and a smile.

First it was Bar Veloce, then Bar Tonno. So what's become of 17 Cleveland Place now? After a bit of a management upheaval, we ended up with...sushi. Former Morimoto chef Kyohei Fukushi continues to strut his stuff at Bar Sasa, where a large fishtank now greets visitors as they walk in to the long narrow bar.
