Houston Street was the location of the origin...Yes. Houston Street was the location of the original Luckys Liquiteria. I used to work on Wooster Street in 2000/2001 and go there for lunch. Apparently the owners had a difference of opinion and Doug started his version on 11th and 2nd.

Many of Liquiteria's smoothies were created and named at the original Lucky's on West Houston.<br />Those were the days.Caleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444665611094048421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-34992947078403945812020-01-13T14:14:41.153-05:002020-01-13T14:14:41.153-05:00I once passed by here during a pedestrian rush hou...I once passed by here during a pedestrian rush hour i.e., people were hardly moving on this corner to go to and fro wherever we were going. Then this young lady just just came out of nowhere and started bumping everyone not saying excuse me -- and I was bumped the hardest me, as I happen to have been stuck due to the traffic in front of Liquiteria -- so that she can storm her way inside this store as if it was the end of the world and had to get her juice fix. Then, shaking my head, I've thought the whole premise of this juice place was to promote drinking healthy, thus better attitude towards oneself, which leads to treating others better. I guess I was wrong. This juice place and craze was more of just another hype, an addiction, or drinking the Kool-Aid kinda thing. Much like these yogis with their yogas mats screaming at everyone or everything who or that is on their way going to and fro their yoga classes. Just an aside and an old chestnut. Next up to open in this place, Matchateria or Pelotoneria, or a Cupcaketeria (oh, wait that was soooo 2000s--two decades ago, imagine that. Seems just like 2 hours ago). Nevermind. Bring back Blimpie's!JORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868908569034991290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-2624919047803572082020-01-13T09:09:05.505-05:002020-01-13T09:09:05.505-05:00I passed by the closed Liquiteria on 8th Street an...I passed by the closed Liquiteria on 8th Street and 6th Avenue yesterday and that place looks like a dump. To think we lost Grays Papaya (and Blimpies) for this. At least the Hustler Hollywood sex toy shop is still open a few doors down to help keep that stretch of West 8th Street classy.Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.com
