Restaurant space at 88 2nd Ave. hits the market after 4 years of turnover

The restaurant space on the NE corner of Second Avenue and Fifth Street is now on the rental market, ending a four-year run of sometimes-open concepts since the fall of 2021. The for-lease sign via Compass arrived yesterday. (We didn't spot the listing online.)

At 88 Second Ave, the diner Kitchen Sink went dark in the summer of 2021... and ownership later transformed the space into a Greek restaurant called Eros... which quietly closed in August 2022 ... to later emerge as Sunflower East Village, which closed for a "restructure" four months later. This sister cafe to the one on Third Avenue in Gramercy Park never reopened. 

Now someone else will have a shot of making something work in this prime EV space...
