Openings: Krave It on 2nd Avenue

The Krave It outpost debuts Thursday at 141 Second Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street. (Arrival first mentioned here.) 

This is the brand's first Manhattan location. It was founded in 2015 in Queens by husband and wife (and high school sweethearts) Vishee and Jenna Mandahar. Krave It also has several locations in the metropolitan area, including Bayside, Huntington and Astoria, with more on the way this year. 

Krave It specializes in "creative, out-of-the-box sandwich and pizza options" such as the birria pizza, ramyun pizza, Hot Cheetos pizza, Biggie Mac pizza, etc. (Find the menu here.)

Only available at the EV location: A statin-busting pastrami-topped reuben pizza with an everything bagel crust. 

The hours are Sunday to Wednesday from 11 a.m. to midnight, Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. 

The space was, until last March, Planet Taco. Recent past lives include Otto's Tacos for seven years. Before that, many things came and went here, such as Good Guys, a Subway (sandwich shop), part of a Max Brenner outpost and Burritoville.

An outpost of Krave It is coming soon to 141 Second Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street. 

The quickly expanding business, founded in 2015 by husband and wife Vishee and Jenna Mandahar (high school sweethearts born and raised in Queens), specializes in "creative, out-of-the-box sandwich and pizza options." Like the seasonal Thanksgiving slice — "all three courses on one perfect bite." 

Krave It also has several locations in the metropolitan area, including Bayside, Huntington and Astoria, with more on the way next year.
