Latina marketed the property, identified the tenant, negotiated the lease and worked with the previous tenant in obtaining the liquor license (with the assistance of Mary Ann Heesters).

The new restaurant will put emphasis on gathering with friends and family for good times, good food and entertainment. They are expecting to open in late July 2015.
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lee Mikles, Jim O’Donoghue and Ntinas, LLC, to bring this iconic Main Street restaurant site back to relevance,” said Latina. “Many thanks to the Laletas and the Frangakis families for their perseverance in keeping this property a restaurant for many years to come as per the wishes of their parents, Stephen and the late Elaine Papatinas. Thanks to Lee and Jim for their determination in bringing their amazing concept ‘Grain Craft Bar + Kitchen’ to life. I wish them many years of success,” Latina added.
Latina specializes in retail and investment commercial real estate with a strong emphasis in the food and beverage sector. He has brokered transactions of several recently opened restaurants on Main Street in Newark, including 16 Mile Taphouse, El Diablo Burritos, Hot Bagels, Primo Hoagies and Colorful Yun Nan.
