I just got an email from the owner of the bistro formerly called
Little Dishes on Seventh Avenue near 13th Street. Oy for them having to
change their name. It's a great place and the food is wonderful. I don't
think the name change will be much of the problem. LITTLE D EATERY IS CUTE. 
And it's a good story...


We wish to inform you that as of September 1, 2006, Little Dishes has 
been renamed Little D Eatery. However, there has been no change in 
ownership at our restaurant. The name changed was forced upon us due to 
legal action taken by Uncommon Grounds, Inc.. They own the federal 
trademark rights to the word Dishes�, which is the name of their 
establishment(s) in Manhattan and elsewhere in the US. According to 
their lawyers, having �Little� in our name was not sufficient to 
forestall customer confusion between our two businesses. As a new small 
business, we did not have the resources to fight to keep the �Dishes� 
part of our name, and we have agreed to make a change.

Again, there has been no change of ownership and our mission remains 
the same: to provide our diners excellent food and service.
