Pretty much a full reveal at the incoming Empanada Mama

Workers removed the plywood from the storefront on the NW corner of First Avenue and 14th Street yesterday ... showing off the new outpost of Empanada Mama.

We first reported in May that the quick-serve restaurant with an outpost on Allen Street was opening here. 

Papaya Dog shuttered here last fall, ending a 16-year-run.

Thanks to Sawyer Mitchell for the photo and to Steven and Pinch for keeping an eye on the space!

I will forever miss those hotdogs and sparkling grape drink, to say nothing of the little "ketchup bun art" pieces saying things like "Love" and "Hello" the guys who worked there would display in the window.

There's new concrete that went down for the sidewalk in front today--this corner staying cleaned up would be nice.

Why is this still a 1 story building? What a wasted opportunity.
