Worked started on a new mural for 269 E. Houston St. at Suffolk on Tuesday... and as of late yesterday afternoon...
BoweryBoogie ID'd the artist as Queen Andrea, who created a mural advertisement for Converse.
The Local 269 closed here in September 2012. There have been a few potential suitors, though nothing ever came of the various proposals for the bar space. We spotted nine different for rent/sale signs on the business last summer ... The whole building remains on the market for $12 million.

I like it too!
When it was Meow Mix, my roommate used to refer to it as "Kitty Litter."
why doesn't anyone that building? it's a beauty and it's by a park! tsk!
also the paint job is awesome:)
Ah yes, Meow Mix, which in the 90s used to have Xena Night once a month, which Lucy Lawless dropped in on when she was on Broadway in Grease. She loved it, they loved her.
Loved it when it was Meow Mix. They had really good bands play too. Unfortunately, this location seems cursed.
