Ben Shaoul, the scourge of the East Village, is keeping busy. After news surfaced yesterday that the infamous developer is planning a new apartment building for Avenue A, today there's a rumor floating around that Shaoul is in contract to buy three one-story buildings at the northeast corner of Orchard and East Houston. The establishments whose demise is imminent include Bereket, Taqueria, Ichiban Sushi, and Karaoke Boho. [Bowery Boogie; previously]
