This place on 1st Avenue is going to be Bananas

Some clever signage has arrived at 174 First Ave. ... 
As you may have guessed, the coming-soon restaurant is called Bananas. (And no duct tape on the bananas? Must not be worth much!)

Shrimp wonton étouffee sounds promising. You can get some, once Bananas opens in the East Village. The minimalist Asian-American restaurant, from a few folks who worked at Shmoné and Blue Ribbon, will also be serving things like a miso caesar, alongside sake flights and shochu-based cocktails. 
The space was previously home to Emilia by Nai.
