165 Avenue B back on the market, again

Last I heard, about two years ago, was that Sum Restaurant, serving a Cantonese-style menu, was in the works for the refurbished retail space at 165 Avenue B between 10th Street and 11th Street.

As you may have noticed, that restaurant never materialized, and a big for lease sign arrived in the front window at the end of the summer.

The listing is now online. It notes that this is a "Prime Avenue B location on a restaurant block." The asking rent is $$8,750, which is good for 1,000 square feet plus a 300-square-foot patio space.

And no post about 165 Avenue B can go without mentioning a long-ago (seemingly!) tenant — the junk-thrift shop Waldorf Hysteria.
