Coming and going on East 14th Street

We noted yesterday that a Pink Bear Ice Cream shop is opening at 226 E. 14th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue... it's worth noting the recent turnover on this block... Pink Bear will be joined on the other side of the street by the new coffee shop Mr. Moustache, opening soon in the former Russian Souvenirs space.

As for closures... EVG regular KT noted the departure of Crystal Gallery Psychic Readings at No. 223...



...where the Marshal recently came calling...



As previously noted, Saving$ Paradise at No. 250 ... recently merged with IQ Decor a few storefronts to the west... (KT heard that the landlord at No. 250 is seeking a hefty rent increase...)





Other recent departures include Discount Cleaners at No. 230. They merged with another cleaners around the corner on Third Avenue.

Also, the former Dunkin' Donuts space at No. 218 is still available... DD moved a few storefronts away last August.
