A deli/market opened this past weekend in the retail space on the southeast corner of Avenue A at Second Street (the owners of Avenue A Deli & Food on the northeast corner of Avenue A and Second Street must love this) ...

Not sure of the name at the moment. A worker there told EVG New Deli Correspondent Steven that their signage was arriving soon. (Members of the 20 Avenue A Watchers Club — our next meeting is Thursday from 1-1:15 p.m. — have been brainstorming possible deli names, a list that includes Alphabet Deli, Avenue A Food & Deli, Deli on A, 2A Deli and To Live and Deli on Avenue A.)

With this, three of the four retail spaces born from the former Chase branch have been filled.
The unnamed deli joins Halo Spa and Alphabet Pizza here...
Chase vacated this storefront in November 2015. Perhaps one day the landlord will even sandblast the traces of the Chase name from the façade.

They’re better than a chase bank, but a real bummer to see such generic businesses fill these three spots on the corner
Has anyone noticed that the entrance to this nameless deli isn't A.D.A. compliant?

The entrances to all the other divisions of this parcel have ramps or slopes leading up to them, but this one has a step several inches above the sidewalk. I'm surprised the landlord and contractor allowed this to happen.
