The former Housewatch space is for lease on Avenue B

Photo last week by Stacie Joy 

A for-lease sign is up at 50 Avenue B between Third Street and Fourth Street. 

The previous tenant, Housewatch, quietly closed earlier this year after nearly 18 months in business. 

This is a large space that has been many different things over the years (Joey Bats Café, Gama Lounge, Lovecraft, Affaire Bistro and Lounge, China 1), with a lower level and access on both Avenue B and Fourth Street. 

There are also rumors of a new suitor for the Avenue B space.

    Here’s hoping this space and the 5 others on this block lease. So odd that there are so many on this side. Guessing the landlords have stupid price expectations. Miss Fonda!
