Outside the East Village IHOP: Scent of bacon is a whiff of things to come

Training continues at the East Village IHOP, which opens Tuesday. We've seen the IHOP crew there prepping all weekend. This morning, preparations must include serving real live food. Which explains why we could smell the bacon from a few doors down...

Please do not walk into the East Village IHOP

An addition to the "we are not open" sign on the EVIHOP on East 14th Street...

You will have to wait two more weeks.

You have 20 shopping days left until the East Village IHOP opens!

I stopped by the incoming outpost here on East 14th Street last evening ... and the makeshift file-folder sign greeted me.

But! Daniel Maurer at the Local learns that the EVIHOP will open Sept. 20.

Twenty days from now! Oh, crap. Or is it 19? I hate math!

Which means! You will have time still to to take part in IHOP's Carmel Apple Sensations — "good through Oct. 30" as seen via IHOP.com.



And now, for a limited time only, the complete EV Grieve IHOP collection...

East Village IHOP passes first major test; plus, a sneak peek inside!

The incoming EVIHOP on East 14th Street apparently has a hurricane-tropical storm proof awning...

And let's take a look inside...

...complete with "rooty tooty fresh n' fruity" signage...

Strangers in the night ...

Just noting the first night that the sign is illuminated here on 14th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue...

New East Village IHOP will employ more than 200 people

On Saturday, we pointed out the newly unveiled exterior of the East Village IHOP on East 14th Street between Third Avenue and Second Avenue ... Meanwhile, Jennifer London, who operates Xoom across the street, met the new manager, who said that IHOP was hiring more than 200 people to start. Quite an operation...

And EV Grieve reader Tom wonders is this exterior will be similar to the Harlem IHOP location...

Behold your East Village IHOP

Workers have removed the plywood here on 14th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue... Pretty low-key looking. So far! A quick look inside confirms the interior will be very similar to the one going in Bushwick.

[Thanks to Jennifer at Xoom for the tip!]

A sign of things (pancakes, namely) to come on 14th Street

Yesterday, Bucky Turco at Animal NY got a look inside the incoming IHOP in Bushwick ... Seeing as one (an IHOP, not a Bushwick) is opening on 14th Street soon enough, well, here's what you can likely expect....

And here's how it will look from the outside on 14th Street...

KIDDING about that exterior...

And now, your IHOP plywood on East 14th Street

And now, let's play It Could Be Worse.

Two years ago, we pointed out the "for lease" signs here at 235 E. 14th St. Renowned nightlife broker "Mr. Nightclub" had the listings, spurring fears of a gargantuan nightclub here.
