Demolition watch along East 14th Street



A month has passed since we checked in on the demolition progress on East 14th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B.

Workers have just taken out the fire-damaged spaces of the former Stuyvesant Grocery, Pete's-a-Place, Jackson Hewitt and the beauty shop starting at the southeast corner of East 14th Street and Avenue A...





The buildings that housed Rainbow and (sniff!) the Blarney Cove are mid-rubble at the moment.



Coming soon along this corridor — two, 7-floor retail-residential buildings.

    I wonder if the shops would still have been there if not for the fire damaging so much... NYU appears to be vultures picking on any corpse possible.

    Every now and then when I see that stretch of 14th Street, I wonder what would be happening to it had that clueless worker not accidentally set Pete's ablaze...

    I live directly behind demolition on 13th street. The other day I was approached by a pollster for fairway market asking me a bevy of questions about my thoughts on a new fairway on the corner of 14th and Ave A. Wonder if anyone has any news on this. Also, to the earlier post, NYU is not developer. They had early bid but pulled out a couple of years ago.
