EVG reader Olivia shares that Thum Wellness and Spa has taken over the top space...
The ground-floor space here between First and Second Avenues remains for lease. It has been home to restaurants for many years, including Il Faro and, in the 1990s, Manila Garden. Crocodile Lounge never reopened after the COVID shutdown in March 2020.
An LLC affiliated with The Sabet Group purchased the four-story building for $3.3 million in the fall of 2024... the gutting soon commenced.
For generations before this, a family had owned the building known as The James McCreery House. Read its history here.
