Avenue A deli news in review

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy 

The East Village New Deli has gone dark at 115 Avenue A between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place. Workers have been gutting the space and hauling out the shop's equipment in the past week. 

Door signage notes that counter staff Joe and Munch are now working a few storefronts to the north ...

...at the 14-month-old Avenue A Deli and Grill...

Avenue A Deli's manager said that Joe and Munch will be at his shop for the morning shift, 7 a.m. until around 4 p.m., making sandwiches and working the grill.

No official word just yet on what might be next for the East Village New Deli space. (Bring back Alphabets!)

Avenue A Deli and Grill just opened here at 123 Avenue A between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place. (Previous posts here.) 

EVG contributor Stacie Joy stopped by and met the owners (on the left and middle, with the chef on the right)...

Avenue A Deli and Grill offers a variety of wraps, sandwiches, burgers, salads, smoothies, juices, etc. 

... and because people always ask about breakfast... here's a look at some of their offerings... with a breakfast platter starting at $6... and omelets (with toast and home fries or hash browns) ranging from $6.50 to $9 ... they also have several breakfast sandwiches starting at $3... 

The deli is open daily from 6 a.m. to midnight. Phone: (212) 982-1253.

Here's your Avenue A Deli and Grill signage on Avenue A

On Saturday, workers added the Avenue A Deli and Grill signage to the storefront at 123 Avenue A between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place. (Thanks to the reader for the pic!) 

Early word: Kudos for the old-school "Avenue A" cursive font...

Waiting for EV Signage and Font Troll to weigh in! 

Our previous post on this new arrival has more about the glut of like-minded businesses along this Avenue A corridor.

Avenue A Deli and Grill shapes up

The market-deli coming to 123 Avenue A between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place is shaping up.. temp signage on the front window reveals the name — Avenue A Deli and Grill...

Bit of a logjam now with like-minded businesses within a few blocks of each other on Avenue A... two new places have opened in recent weeks — one on the SW corner of Sixth Street ... the other mid-block between Sixth and Seventh... not to mention the recent renovation of Kamaran Deli & Grocery at 79 Avenue A at Fifth Street to include more to-go food options. Plus the places already in service — East Village New Deli at 115 Avenue A and Tompkins Finest Deli & Grill at 153 Avenue A.

The storefront at 123 Avenue A has been vacant since Tony (aka Abdul) died in the fall of 2018. Tony, who owned the building, ran the deli, which operated under various names in this spot for 25 years.
