2nd Avenue Spice closes on June 1



The East Village Spice empire continues to downsize.

Notices to patrons are now up at the Second Avenue and East Sixth Street location … this Spice closes as of Monday…

This move/consolidation with the First Avenue location was expected… this storefront has been on the rental market…



Meanwhile, Spice opened in the former Pukk space several weeks ago on First Avenue between East Fourth Street and East Fifth Street.

The Fourth Avenue location closed in December.

    No. Not the curse of The Bamboo House. The curse of mediocre food and service. What at one time seemed decent prices for decent food no longer seems so as new more personalized restaurants open in the neighborhood. Success often drives downfall, particularly in restaurants when chefs or managers become over extended. There was a Spice on Fourth Avenue and 10th Street that lingered on with a few customers. It was unappetizing food.

    Bamboo House was the quintessential late night go-to place in the EV for a long time. You could get a hot meal at 3 AM. With cheerful waitresses / waiters. Now it's all trendy crap for the bros and bras. Just my 2 cents, as always.
