It wasn't immediately clear if the folks behind Chichen Itzá were also doing the new cafe concept ... or what made them initially pivot the business after two-plus weeks in existence here.

Thanks for 28 great days! Gotta go now
To be honest, it is an outdated space with not much to be desired. Unless the new tenants moving in bring their A game or already have a significant following on social media, I don't see how this spot will flourish.
I'm not surprised, rents are ridiculous again as REBNY tries to claw back to prepandemic levels. Rents go up as only 3/4 of the residents have returned to the city? Not good news for small business or residents of the city.
