EVG DF Mavens correspondent Steven continues to monitor the former DF Mavens space on Second Avenue at St. Mark's Place.
And in recent interior revelations ... we have the makings of coffee ...
The contractors here say they don't know who the new tenant is.
Meanwhile, as we've seen in recent years, another past-due rent notice arrived on the door late last week...
DF Mavens, the vegan ice cream shop, closed in January 2016 after opening in December 2014. (The coming soon signage arrived in October 2013.)
Before the Mavens, the prime corner space was the cafe Eastside Bakery (.net?). And there was Roastown Coffee before that. And how could we forget Pizzanini? Or the Gap?!

Honestly, why do businesses even bother in this neighborhood? Most new ventures are bound to fail less than a year. What's the purpose of opening a new place when it will shut down soon?
It's a crying shame, but most places can's subsist with exorbitant rents. Even if I had the capital to operate a business, which for the record I don't, I would never waste my money or time If I did have the resources.
It's too much energy, stress and anxiety. The city is rapidly changing and often feels like a suburban sprawl. I can't count the numerous FOR RENT signs once occupied by boutiques, cafes and restaurants.
Very sad times we are living in.
How I (really) miss The Gap and the Theatre next door...
