The latest development: THE LIGHTS ARE ON...
This comes two weeks after a ladder inside the quick-serve chain's space moved from one spot to another.

We're 16 months into the first report of the PE opening on this corner.
As previously noted late last summer, there were issues with permits — as in waiting for the city, Con Ed, etc., to approve them. A PE rep told The Village Sun that this outpost wouldn't open until the first quarter of 2023. (One tipster told us that management here was very late in turning in the necessary paperwork for the various licenses, etc.)
Anyway, we're now at the start of the second quarter of 2023. We reached out to PE for an update on the opening status.
In any event, the PE still looks ready for Orange Chicken action ... though this location hasn't appeared on the PE website.
Panda Express launched in California in 1983 ... with more than 2,000 locations today, including a handful around NYC.

Panda Express is now panda local? Just joking, haven’t had them since my last mall visit.
ReplyDeleteThere's one on 3rd Ave & 51st that is very popular
ReplyDeleteYuk. See you in Chinatown.
ReplyDeleteThe orange chicken just left mar-a-lago
ReplyDelete@7:40 Panda Local! Solid
ReplyDeleteWaiting for this place to finally open as been as agonizing as waiting for Trump to be indicted. Enough already.
ReplyDeleteJust hoping that SOMETHING starts opening on up on this corner which now is, like 14th Street between Ave A and 1st Ave (and also now on 14th Street between Ave A & Ave B) a major drug dealing, stolen goods, homeless encampment hell hole.
ReplyDeleteIf not Panda express it would be nice if something opened up there... All these empty storefronts is no good.
