The sign for Gracefully remains in place outside 28 Avenue A between Second Street and Third Street... even though the two-level market closed here in November 2014.
And the large space along a high-profile corridor has remained vacant these past eight years.
The other day, EVG contributor Stacie Joy toured the space with the permission of Derrick the super...
We don't know why this has sat empty for so long. Size? Price? Both! According to the LoopNet listing, there are 5,000 square feet on the main floor and another 3,500 in the basement ... at $80 per square foot.
Gracefully arrived here in 1997. It was the tenant when the building — the one-time Burger-Klein furniture shop — underwent a gut renovation to look like Iron Man's helmet.
And a little bit of Gracefully remains behind...

I remember the first deli which was a very standard bodega with the usual offerings and then Grace came in and a major remodel happened with a very upscale look joined by more upscale (expensive) products.
Very cool - Thanks Stacie for sharing your exploration with us!
No one in the East Village is renting these large spaces. It probably will continue to sit empty unfortunately
If the organization coming to take a look decides to pass, there's always a very large space going begging on 11th and A.
Perfect spot for a giant Bro-wear emporium like America Eagle or North Face.
The memories!
Still don't know why they ruined the facade. So dumb. For NYSC that was there for like a year.
@XTC - golf store!
