Coming and going on Fourth Avenue



First, let's look at the retail space on the southeast corner of Fourth Avenue and East 13th Street. Word is the former Brothers Deli space will become a Juice Generation, which has 11 locations in Manhattan. Construction crews have gutted the space, so there's still work to get it juice ready.

And next door, at the former Dryden Gallery, the word here among the locals is that a Pie Face pizzeria is opening here. (We heard a pizza rumor going back to last October. Well, different kind of pie.)

Moving up to the northeast corner... reliable sources tell us that the Blimpie sub shop and the Young Chow Restaurant are goners. The two spaces will be combined for an asking rent of $36,000. (After all, you need nice things for that new hotel across the way.)

True to that, Young Chow has already closed.



If you're a fan, then you're in luck — Young Chow is moving. Somewhere, per the dueling signs on the gate.




We'll go with 96 Third Ave., where there's this sign...



No word on a closing date for Blimpie.

  1. I've been to the Pie Face on 7th Ave near Penn. They make sweet and savory pie pastries, not pizza. I did not care for it.

  3. Is anyone surprised? I'm not. Now let's see our new neighbors do something to help the (at least six, have been here for months) people who are living on the street on 4th Ave and at 14th and 3rd Ave....

    Meantime, it's probably BYO Hoof.
