EV Grieve Eatery Etc.: Saints Tavern is purple; Organic Avenue is open


Haven't done one of these in eons. Behind!

-----

On St. Mark's Place, the newish Saints Tavern got a very purple makeover on Tuesday... (it used to be red)...

Of course, there is some precedent on the block for purple...



-----

After a long period of inactivity, workers have recently started renovating the former Spa Belles location on Second Avenue near East Seventh Street... prepping it to be a fucking Twister self-serve frozen yogurt shop ...



-----

Work continues at 115 Avenue C near East Eighth Street, where Apartment 13 will soon call home ... it's the new restaurant from Paul Seres, the former president of the New York Nightlife Association and a partner in The DL on Delancey and Ludlow... read more about it here. Meanwhile, workers finally removed the iconic sign from the last tenant — The Porch.

In case you missed this one earlier... Fu Sushi closed on Avenue B between East 11th Street and East 12th Street last August. The Post reported back in January that a new Ethiopian restaurant is opening in its place ... called Haile Ethiopian Bistro, and owned by Menasie Haile and Gemada Hiwot. The signs have been up now for what, six weeks? Anyway...

And the new outpost of Organic Avenue opened last Friday on Third Avenue and East Ninth Street... in the space of the former travel agency...

    Why do these knuckleheads keep opening up these juice and yogurt shops? When the weather gets cold, business dies off, and so does your store at these rents...

    Hmm, leading juice providers are just what we need here. How about a good bakery? A shoemaker? Anything real people need?

    Wow.

    This post is the East Village in a nutshell circa 2013.
