On Friday, we spotted a lone excavator in the pit where three buildings — 33-37 First Ave. — once stood on this NW corner of Second Street.
This is the first notable activity we've seen here since workers removed the sidewalk bridge in late June.
To update on the situation here, a 7-story residential building with ground-floor retail is still awaiting city approval for its new address, 88 E. Second St.
According to DOB paperwork, the proposed building will be 19,278 square feet, with 2,994 square feet designated for commercial space. Plans call for 22 residential units, which would likely be rentals given the square footage.

Sad to see that open space where the great Double Dragon used to be. I miss that place and wish they would reopen at another space in the LES/EV but I know the odds are against it.
When I moved here in 1990 to 1st ave and 4th street, Double Dragon was the first place I grabbed dinner. Memories….
