A few more details on Mee Noodle Shop's return to the East Village


[From May]

Mee Noodle Shop is returning to First Avenue after a seven-year absence, as Eater first reported last month.

This week's issue of The Villager has a few more details, including:

• The broker "struck a favorable deal with the landlord that allowed the restaurant to set up the space without having to pay rent for the duration of construction."

• According to Mee's Joyce Chi, the restaurant will be reopening in about five months.

The new address is 223 First Ave., two storefronts to the north of the previous Mee location. That building apparently had a cracked infrastructure ... the building on the corner of East 13th Street is now home to a Starbucks and that new stack of apartments.
