Vive La Crêpe latest business to leave 110 University Place



Vive La Crêpe closed up yesterday between East 12th Street and East 13th Street. The mini-chain is reopening over on East Eighth Street next month, per the sign on the door.



Stromboli Pizza and Bamboo Tori closed in the early spring … the newsstand moved across the street.

All this activity is to make way for a new residential complex at the building, which currently still houses Japonica, the parking garage and Bowlmor Lanes. (In January, the Post reported that demolition for a new building will likely start this summer.)

There hasn't been anything official from developer/landlord Billy Macklowe, CEO of William Macklowe Company, about the future of the building. And there's nothing on file about a renovation/demolition at the DOB.

Previously on EV Grieve:
Building that houses Bowlmor Lanes will convert to condos, like everywhere else around here

The last time I had a crêpe was in the late 70s. University Place has never been the same since Bradley's closed.
