The Bean's Ike Escava tells us that the location at 147 First Ave. (at East Ninth Street) will open on Thursday ... Meanwhile, EVG regular jdx wandered into the location yesterday for a look...
Previously on EV Grieve:
A bigger Bean coming now to 147 First Ave.
Rumors: Ground floor at 147 First Avenue will include the Bean AND a bar
The Bean is now apparently opening on every corner in the East Village
This looks really nice and should work out well for Icon
ReplyDeleteRealty's Hotel Toshi.
Looking good! I can't wait for it to open, the Starbucks on 2nd Ave and 9th Street is a freak show.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they've done a great job with the space, love the tin ceilings and the fact that they utilize local artists to help decorate the space.
ReplyDeleteLove that they're local, not a chain and are opening 150 more spts all over Manhattan.
ReplyDeleteIcon Realty is responsible for so many terrible things in this community. This is another example of a "de-localization" and finally The Bean actually shows it's "local roots" and below average coffee finally in full gimmicky view.
ReplyDeleteHopefully there are no outlets for all the selfish/annoying laptop lingerers hahaha
