Fidel's opens in former Metro Kitchen/Fat Daddy's

Fat Daddy's -- the restaurant at 12 East 11th Avenue where Daniel Young, the almost-White House chef, was the cook -- was done in by the blizzard of March 2003. It was replaced by Metro Kitchen + Bar, which was done in by -- well, who knows what.

But now the space is back in business, with a big "now open" banner for Fidel's hanging out in front.
