Signage alert: Visit Sicily NYC on 7th Street

An Italian bakery called Visit Sicily NYC is up next at 86 E. Seventh St., just west of First Avenue. 

Here's how the business describes itself: 
"A true slice of Sicily in New York. We serve fresh Sicilian pastries, artisan bread, pasta, panini, espresso, and imported Italian products, all made with authentic ingredients and tradition. More than a bakery or grocery, we are a place to taste, shop, and feel Sicily like home."
If you're on Instagram, you can follow Visit Sicily NYC here. 

The bakery is an outgrowth of Casa Calia, which sells Sicilian products online. 

No. 86 was previously Yubu, which offered a variety of Korean snacks and beverages. They closed in November after nearly four years in business.
