From the tipline (thanks Upper West Sider!) comes word of the new tenant for the retail space on the southwest corner of Eldridge and Houston.
Say hello to the next Bank of America branch... details are on the approved work permit...
The BoA arrives at a time when other branches have been closing in the area, including the two Capital Ones in the East Village. In recent years, Citi, Chase and Santander all shuttered their outposts on Avenue A.
147 E. Houston St. was previously a Pay-O-Matic check-cashing outpost. The new BoA will be joining next-door neighbor Il Mattone, which opened in May.
