Deli in the works for 5th and B

Photos by Stacie Joy 

Renovations continue inside the storefront at 76 Avenue B on the NW corner of Fifth Street. 

Based on a look inside over the weekend, we're in for a corner market-deli... there's plenty of kitchen equipment, as well as a meat-and-cheese slicer...
This is already a busy corridor for assorted sandwiches (including Sunny & Annie's, Ben's Deli, and East Village Finest Deli). 

No. 76 was last home to the art gallery gratin, which relocated to the Lower East Side. Previously, Oda House, which served Georgian cuisine and other Mediterranean staples, closed here in August 2020 after more than seven years in service. Caffe Buon Gusto was here for a bit after the corner market, Zips.

No Kate's Joint mention?! Been mourning the closure of that spot for almost twenty years now...

Kate's was great... and it was at 58 Avenue B one block to the south...

Pretty fancy diagonal entrance for a deli! I assume they’re planning on offering something special to compete with Sunny and Annie’s.
