On 3rd Avenue, the East Village’s slimmest storefront is up for rent

A sliver of a storefront — just a door’s width — at 99 Third Ave. is now for rent. 

The listing at Meridian Capital Group says this about the 300-square-foot space: 

... perfect for any to-go/takeout concepts 

Great frontage opportunity 

High ceilings 

Steps from Union Square with 24/7 foot traffic 

Asking rent: $3,995.

A cafe called Stella Breeze was here for several months, closing up earlier this year. 

In 2023, a short-lived smoke shop was the first retail tenant here between 12th Street and 13th Street.

As far as we can recall (and a look at Google Street View confirms), this was previously an entrance to the residential building.
