Former space housing 1st bar for pregnant women returns to market on Avenue A


[EVG photo from September]

The corner retail space on Avenue A and East Fifth Street served as an advertising repository last October for some bar-finding app disguised as Gestations — "NYC's first bar for pregnant women."

The storefront has sat empty since East Village Pharmacy moved from here to 41 Avenue A in early 2011.

And now there's a new broker for the space…





So far, we haven't spotted the listing online at the Tower Brokerage website. And is the space next door that housed Twist for lease as well?

In any event, this is a good block for independent retail here between East Fifth Street and East Fourth Street … you have a coffee shop/cafe (Croissanteria), a housewares shop (Lancelotti), a used bookstore (Mast), a magazine shop (Ink on A), a gift shop (Alphabets), a dry cleaners … not to mention the lottery place and the liquor store.

    A terrible unfunny joke that just seems worse and worse every time EVG brings it up.

    Yes- would love to see a new independent retail shop here. Music related items or less expensive housewares would be ideal.

    How about East Village Cheese? If they could get the Twist space as well it might be big enough. Or EVC could take over the old Gracefully space.
