Workers have removed the sidewalk bridge from outside 105 and 107 Second Ave. on the west side between Sixth Street and Seventh Street...
For now, this ends the encampment that had been here on and off all summer. The city would clear it out, and the inhabitants would move a block away for a day or so, then return (photo below by
Derek Berg from Aug. 27).
No. 107 has remained vacant since the
New Yorkers Foodmarket closed at the end of 2023. Apple Bank
relocated to Fourth Avenue in March ... and on the corner,
Mighty Quinn's closed in April, though
another restaurant is in the works here.

Not to worry, there will be one up on the corner of 6th where sunny's Florist is soon as the city is forcing the owner to put one up for restoration or face fines. The benefits of landmark designation.
Thank God!
Why is it the EV is the "Mecca" for the annual migration of "crusties" every year? They just swoop down like locusts and park themselves where ever they please. I've even seen a few regulars return year after year. Never could wrap my head around that logic.
Most of the surrounding residents are hoping another food market opens in the space but it looks more likely that landlord NYU keep it for their own use.
It was inevitable. The owners have been fighting for years to keep the space at a reasonable rent.
NYU has owned and wanted this space for ages. Mike who managed the place gave up after Wegman's opened. He was forced to raise his prices to a point where the store was empty.
I wish they would take those NYU flags
down. It’s bad enough that they own
the property.
