First Avenue Pierogi & Deli is back open

A reader lets us know that EVG favorite First Avenue Pierogi & Deli is back open after a vacation-remodeling combo on First Avenue near St. Mark's Place. They closed in August, and we saw bits-and-pieces of the new paint and tile coming to the interior... as well as the new awning outside. The apologetic reader didn't go inside, though, because she was carrying a lot of bags. So we'll get a report on the new-look space some other time.
