On Sunday, a tipster sent us the following email: "I'm told they are tearing down the old Life Cafe today."
Seemed odd, being Easter Sunday and all... but we took a look... We did see two workers leave the space... as well as a few piles of rubble...
We waited to see if there was any further work done on the space yesterday... (answer: a little, though still mostly intact.)
Anyway, the former Life Cafe space here on East 10th Street and Avenue B is being split up... with part of the space accommodating the new, larger home of 9th Street Espresso next door, as The Villager noted.
