Former Lovecraft space for rent on Avenue B

After sitting in the dark these past three-plus months, the bar-restaurant inspired by horror writer H. P. Lovecraft is now for lease at 50 Avenue B near Fourth Street.

And so this officially brings an end to Lovecraft, which opened in August 2014. (There was some speculation among neighbors that the place would reopen.)

Johnny Favorite's, the pizzeria attached to the Lovecraft space around the corner on Fourth, is also for lease... as is the former 212 Arts gallery, which recently relocated to 12th Street.



Johnny Favorite's hasn't been open since this past August. (The pizzeria debuted in April 2015.)

This listing hasn't arrived online at CityConnections just yet.
