About the new tenant at 37 Avenue A

Photos by Stacie Joy

In recent weeks we've seen activity in one of the long-empty storefronts in the retail spaces of the city-owned First Houses on Avenue A between Second Street and Third Street.

The new tenant is the project management team behind the renovations on Avenue A at Second Street... in a space that looks restaurant ready with the kitchen hood, countertop, and stools...
They say they are doing roofing and façade-repair work and will only be in the space until the project is finished... (and if you were looking for the taco cart) ...
The storefront, 37 Avenue A, has been vacant since Angelina Cafe closed in the spring of 2019 when Rafik Bouzgarrou opened Bin 141 on the next block.

While this stretch has been considered a "vacancy hotspot," East Village Buyers moved to 39 Avenue A in April. Perhaps a cafe or restaurant could take over 37 Avenue A after the construction wraps up.

    Wasn’t a pet supply store there a few years ago?

    Petopia is at 29 Avenue A in the space on the corner of 2nd Street.

    Bring Two Boots back! I loved the full service restaurant. It was always a big treat to go there when I was younger.

    I totally forgot about the Two Boots restaurant being there. Now I miss that place!
