Signage alert: El Camino on 1st Avenue

We had our first sign of signage for the new tenant at 135 First Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street. 

El Camino is the Spanish tapas bar coming to the space via Will Wyatt and Edie Ugot from Electric Burrito around the corner on St. Mark's Place.

According to its Instagram account, El Camino is "a little bar coming soon to the East Village." Representatives for El Camino appeared before Community Board 3 last August. The questionnaire includes a sample menu. 

The two are also involved in HighLife, the burger joint that opened right next door on Feb. 26. 

El Camino and HighLife are in the space that previously housed Dan & John's Wings.

Signage alert: HighLife Burgers on 1st Avenue

The hand-painted signage is up for HighLife, the new burger joint on First Avenue from the owners of Electric Burrito around the corner on St. Mark's Place.

HighLife is taking over part of the former Dan & John's storefront at 135 First Ave. (Dan & John's closed last April after failing to reach a new lease agreement with the landlord.)

The burger place, which will include a standing counter for dining inside, is expected to open on Feb. 26. You can follow them on Instagram for updates.
