Signage alert: Sweetie’s adds candy to the First Avenue mix

Photo by Steven 

Sweetie's, offering pick-and-mix candy, is the next business for the storefront in the lower level of 93 First Ave., just south of Sixth Street. 

Many readers-residents know this space as the longtime home of Royal Bangladesh Indian Restaurant, which ran from 1978 to 2022... and as one of the three restaurants at the address — Royal Bangladesh, Milon and Panna II. 

Panna II is the sole survivor. 

This basement space was home for a minute or two to the apostrophe-free Smokers Basement, a smoke shop-exotic snack joint.

No word on an opening date for Sweetie's.
