Leveling La Vie
Just noting the continued de-evolution of the former club at 64 E. First St.
Workers are in the process of leveling the structure to make way for a 6-floor residential building here between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
New York Yimby reported in April that there will be six residential units (likely condos) — "two duplexes, one spanning the cellar and first floor, and another located on the sixth and penthouse levels; each of the other four residences will be full-floor."
La Vie, a club masquerading as a restaurant, finally closed in June 2013 after a protracted battle with the State Liquor Authority.
Despite the angle of this photo, Abetta Boiler and Welding Service next door is still in business.
