While we're on East 14th Street... just noting that the pile drivers recently arrived for the start of the foundation work here just west of Avenue A...
There two for double the pile driving...
Anyway, as you likely know, plans call for an 8-story retail-residential building featuring 114 units, with 20 percent designated as affordable housing.
And here's another look at the renderings on the plywood along the former Peter Stuyvesant Post Office...
If a Trader Joe's does sign up for the southeast corner of 14th Street and Avenue A, then do you think they'd be a need for a market as depicted in the above rendering?

Yellow?!? How festive, and not unlike the arrows in an earlier discussion, these go both ways! Too bad the building won't be nearly as attractive as they are...
When the THREE pile drivers were at the construction site one block east, between A and B, workers would start warming up the machines at 7:15am, well ahead of the 8:30am start for noise. Nothing like watching concentric rings forming in your cup of coffee after being woken up earlier than one likes on a day off. It felt like an invasion. Can't wait to experience that again.
"LOWER EASTSIDE"?
is it not supposed to be "LOWER EAST SIDE"?
i've seen it both ways, but it doesn't look right.
and how is 14th Street even remotely near the actual neighborhood of the Lower East Side?
it's barely East Village, and it's almost Stuy Town.
WOOF
Or as Steve Croman calls them: door knockers
@Henri .... that whole area and down is part of the LES... not LES proper in Real Estate maps..but it's always been called the LES if you want to.
Henri Cervantes quoth:

Traditionally, the Lower East Side has been the neighborhood in NYC bordered by 14th street to the north, Canal Street to the south, Third Avenue to the west, and the East River to the east. There are now differing opinions of where it begins and ends, but one of my favorite quotes about it comes from Gail Parent in 1973, from Sheila Levine Is Dead and Living In New York: "The East Village is, face it New Yorkers, the Lower East Side."
