And speaking of mystery storefronts on Avenue A... signage is up for the incoming retail tenant at 189 Avenue A between East 11th Street and East 12th Street — Harry and Ida's Meat & Supply Co. ...

Previously, the space was going to be home to I Cipressi, but the Italian restaurant wasn't able to open. Vampire Freaks was the last tenant here, closing in December 2011.
