Sweetie's, offering pick-and-mix candy, is the next business for the storefront in the lower level of 93 First Ave., just south of Sixth Street.
Many readers-residents know this space as the longtime home of Royal Bangladesh Indian Restaurant, which ran from 1978 to 2022... and as one of the three restaurants at the address — Royal Bangladesh, Milon and Panna II.
Panna II is the sole survivor.
This basement space was home for a minute or two to the apostrophe-free Smokers Basement, a smoke shop-exotic snack joint.
No word on an opening date for Sweetie's.
