Liquiteria coming soon to former Blimpie space on 4th Avenue

The quickly expanding Liquiteria mini-chain announced several new locations around the city in January … including one at Fourth Avenue and East 13th Street.

The plywood is down now at the former Blimpie space on the northeast corner of Fourth Avenue and East 13th Street … revealing the Liquiteria signage.

No word just yet on an opening date. Liquiteria's flagship store is on Second Avenue at East 11th Street.

A new look for the northeast corner of Fourth Avenue and East 13th Street

A new look for the northeast corner of Fourth Avenue and East 13th Street

We noted yesterday that changes were coming to the northeast corner of Fourth Avenue at East 13th Street ... the Young Chow Restaurant has already moved out... and the Blimpie/Lite Choice is next ...

Meanwhile, a tipster sent along the above listing for the corner... showing that the spaces will be combined ... the example in the rendering: Walgreens! Maybe not a bad idea — there's isn't a Walgreens within less of a block from here! Oh, read the comments — apparently the Walgreens is for real.

As for the rent at this location — it's upon request.

Coming and going on Fourth Avenue

First, let's look at the retail space on the southeast corner of Fourth Avenue and East 13th Street. Word is the former Brothers Deli space will become a Juice Generation, which has 11 locations in Manhattan. Construction crews have gutted the space, so there's still work to get it juice ready.

And next door, at the former Dryden Gallery, the word here among the locals is that a Pie Face pizzeria is opening here. (We heard a pizza rumor going back to last October. Well, different kind of pie.)

Moving up to the northeast corner... reliable sources tell us that the Blimpie sub shop and the Young Chow Restaurant are goners. The two spaces will be combined for an asking rent of $36,000. (After all, you need nice things for that new hotel across the way.)

True to that, Young Chow has already closed.



If you're a fan, then you're in luck — Young Chow is moving. Somewhere, per the dueling signs on the gate.




We'll go with 96 Third Ave., where there's this sign...



No word on a closing date for Blimpie.

At least one person upset that the weird sushi/Blimpie/pizza place closed

Guess it's off to the Pizza Hut/Taco Bell/Arthur Treacher's now...
