Construction watch: 231 Bowery

Photo from Jan. 23 

ICYMI: The New Museum, including its 60,000-square-foot building expansion next door, will reopen on March 21... featuring twice the exhibition space and several major new commissions that will be on long-term view in and around the building. 

And there's free admission during their opening weekend on March 21-22. (You have to register for the free tickets starting next month. Details.)

Demolition wrapped up at 231 Bowery, the former 6-floor building that stood next to the New Museum here at Prince Street, in the fall of 2022. 

No. 231 was home to Daroma Restaurant Equipment until the spring of 2011, when they moved down the Bowery (and the owner pleaded guilty to tax fraud). The New Museum bought the building for $16.6 million in September 2008.
