EV Grieve Eatery Etc.: Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken opens; so does a new Lula's



After a warm-up this past weekend, Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken officially opens today on Second Avenue and East First Street... an event that hasn't gone unnoticed... Eater, Grub Street, Time Out and Fork in the Road all had previews.

As we noted Saturday, Blythe Boyd reopened a vegan ice cream shop in the Lula's space on East Sixth Street... no word yet on its new name...

Oh, and Hawa Smoothies has opened at 422 E. 14th St. between First Avenue and Avenue A ...

And at this point, we're not sure when Lucy's reopens after her usual summer break... the sign was slightly altered...

    I hate the word eatery as much as I hate the word mixologists.

    $26 for fried chicken?!? So bourgeois. GTFOuttahere.

    I walked by Blue Ribbon this morning and they had a printed sign on their door saying they weren't open yet but close!

    Maybe they only had a "soft opening" recently. There were a few workers inside in the middle of a discussion and a couple of them were outside having a smoke.

    I just walked by last night & just stopped in my tracks. I really had to figure out if this was actually Second ave & first street. The entire area has been turned into a mini north palm beach. It is absolutely unrecognizable from what it was - Mars Bar, the tenement bldgs., and of course, the people. I know this seems obvious to all that read this blog & live in/around the LES but it's so all encompassing that it blows my mind. Developers create & then sell this cheap faux luxury as the "new NYC" and obliterate all that was there. And then we're only left with their version of the LES. It is so scary to see it happening so fast.
