Fit to a Teavana



The TEAVANA letters went up yesterday on Broadway at East Ninth Street.



As previously reported in July, the Starbucks-owned Teavana, a specialty tea and tea accessory retailer, was taking over the former Silver Spurs corner space.

Last December, Silver Spurs got rent-hiked out of its 34-year-old home here.

Thanks to EVG reader @elivalley for the photos!

As a tea drinker in an irrelevant sea of artisanal coffee joints, I want to be thrilled by this. But no.

MonikaNYC, Then I'll be thrilled for you! I'm looking forward to their opening. It's kind of far for me, so I won't go there often, but if I'm at the Strand or Forbidden Planet I will.

As Starbuck is to overpriced coffee [not good either]; Tevana is to tea.

I hereby declare my allegiance to Argo Tea, right around the corner, on University and 11th.

Starbucks is closing all their NY Teavana locations since no one liked their lousy tea in the first place. They are converting the locations to Starbucks, so thanks again to Starbucks for chasing out local businesses just so they can have a location on every other corner.
