We continue to be curious about what's next for the empty storefronts at 8-14 Stuyvesant St. Workers have been renovating the spaces on this strip between Ninth Street and Third Avenue.
Now, the plywood is off the space at 14 Stuyvesant, and it almost looks as if the previous tenant, Sharaku Japanese Restaurant, was still here...as they were from 1984 to the early days of the pandemic in 2020...
As previously reported, Village Yokocho, Angel's Share and Panya closed in the other spaces in April 2022. Sunrise Mart also shut down in a separate building next door on the second floor.
This post has more background.

A really big shame that this building has been closed and vacant for so long. It had thriving businesses in it. Angel's Share was also a relatively historic bar... it started the "speakeasy" style bar trend in the city (arguably the country).
These businesses are missed, particularly since they were not part of big chains. Note to first poster, Chumley's and Beatrice Inn, both of which closed in 2020, and Ear Inn, serving since 1817, all downtown and all former real speakeasy's during Prohibition.
