Collapsed portion of sidewalk whole again on 7th Street

After nearly two months, Con Ed workers finally repaired a collapsed portion of the sidewalk outside 84 E. Seventh St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. 

The work took two days and forced the closure of the businesses here — Studio Duarte, a jewelry brand, and AuH20 Thriftique, a vintage shop — on the summery spring days of last Wednesday and Thursday. (Photo below by Steven)... 
Despite a hole in the sidewalk and numerous Con Ed barricades, the folks at AuH20 Thriftique made the best of it these past two months with their business hours and strategically placed rack of clothes... (abandoned couch not part of set up)...
Fingers crossed there isn't another setback to return the block to the ConEd/DEP Hell Summer of 2021.

That sinking feeling again on 7th Street

Several EVG readers pointed out a collapsed portion of the sidewalk outside 84 E. Seventh St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue... happened sometime last night...
... apparently a flashback gift from the ConEd/DEP Hell Summer of 2021 Work on the block. 

Anyway, we understand that the building's landlord will block off this section of the sidewalk until city repairs can be made. 

The business here, AuH20 Thriftique, an excellent vintage shop, will be open per usual from noon to 7 p.m. 

H/T Cara!

AuH20 Thriftique popping up for 2 days in former 7th Street home


AuH20 Thriftique is making an encore presentation tomorrow and Saturday in the shop's former home at 84 E. Seventh St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. 

Per an Instagram post: 
Popping up at the old storefront, 84 E. 7th St., on Friday & Saturday, May 14 & 15, from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Stop by if you're in the East Village! We will also be buying! Bring your used clothes and accessories ... And we'll be bringing "wait to bundle" bags in case you'd like to pick up in person.
After 14 years of selling stylish women's vintage clothes and accessories, Kate Goldwater, who opened the storefront after graduating from college, shut down the business last fall.

She is continuing to offer items online

AuH20 Thriftique closes up shop on 7th Street


After 14 years selling stylish women's vintage clothes and accessories, AuH20 Thriftique has closed its shop at 84 E. Seventh St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. 

AuH20 closed on Oct. 1 — the shop's 14th anniversary.

Kate Goldwater, who opened the storefront after graduating from college at age 22, made the announcement on Instagram. She will continue the business via online sales

On Sept. 17,  she shared her story in a post on Medium titled "The President Ruined a Business I Spent 14 Years Building."

As she wrote: "I joke with my husband that it's just a secondhand store. I wasn't saving lives, but I think I really did have something special in the East Village. I really do feel like I'm letting everyone down by closing it, but I also don't think that I have another option."
