LES Bites: Landbrot Bakery, South China Garden, Kupersmith

Here’s your Tuesday afternoon Lower East Side restaurant/bar news:

• It has been months since the scheduled opening of Landbrot, the German bakery at 185 Orchard Street.  The latest guess, reports the Real Deal, is late next month.

• Eater picks up on Chowhound chatter, noting that South China Garden on Elizabeth Street is closing. There’s also speculation that a new hotel development on the block could lead to other closures, including Jing Fong.

• Kupersmith on Clinton Street has a sausage and beer tasting tonight; $40, from 7 p.m.-8:30 p.m.  RSVP to fun@kupersmithnyc.com.

• Community Board 3 member/bar owner Ariel Palitz talks about why she’s trying to sell Sutra.
