PlantShed debuts on 2nd Avenue

The PlantShed outpost has opened at 193 Second Ave. on the NW corner of 12th Street. (Thanks to Steven for the top two photos.) 

As previously reported, this location of the family-owned business that dates to the 1950s will sell plants and flowers and offer café service (tea, coffee and pastries). There are a few sidewalk tables available.

The first PlantShed retail space opened on the Upper West Side in 1981... the café service arrived later.

There are now four PlantShed storefronts — two on the UWS, one on Prince Street at the Bowery and one that debuted in 2020 in Englewood, N.J. 

No. 193, a high-profile storefront, has been vacant since Pastel Spa & Nails closed in March 2018.
