The new location of FlyeLyfe opens today on 1st Avenue

The new location of FlyeLyfe has its grand opening today at noon at 215 First Ave. just south of 13th Street.

This is a big move for East Village-based artist and entrepreneur P.J. O’Rourke, who had been selling his original design T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, hats, masks, prints, patches, bags, magnets and caps from a small storefront on 11th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.

O’Rourke first started selling his creations on the L train via a mobile art cart in September 2012.

And now he's set up in a two-level space that was previously occupied by a Dunkin' Donuts.
