Signage alert: Buena Vista on the NE corner of 2nd Avenue and 5th Street

Signage finally arrived yesterday at 88 Second Ave. on the NE corner of Fifth Street. (Thanks to EVG reader Danielle!)

The next tenant here is Buena Vista. This will be the second outpost for the restaurant located at 536 Ninth Ave. in Hell's Kitchen. 

Per their website
Buena Vista is a gourmet Latin American restaurant in NYC, offering an elevated gastronomic experience in the heart of the city. With its vibrant ambiance, refined décor, and authentic cuisine, the restaurant transports you on a culinary journey through Latin America.


There has been a lot of speculation in recent months about what is next for this high-profile corner. (A worker here told EVG's Stacie Joy that the restaurant would be serving "Dominican food" without any other details.) 

The diner Kitchen Sink went dark in the summer of 2021... and ownership later transformed the space into a Greek restaurant called Eros... which quietly closed in August 2022 ... to later emerge as Sunflower East Village, which closed for a "restructure" four months later.
