Greecologies-Pure Green combo opens on 2nd Avenue

The Greecologies-Pure Green combo is now open at 152 Second Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street.

This is the second NYC location for Greecologies, whose menu includes a variety of grass-fed yogurts as well as desserts, coffees and teas.

Pure Green, which has multiple NYC locations, sells cold-pressed juices, smoothies and various bowls of açaí.

The building at 152-154 Second Ave. is the former Sigmund Schwartz Gramercy Park Chapel, which Icon Realty bought, gutted, added three extra floors and opened as luxury rentals.

Signage went up yesterday for the combo business coming to 152 Second Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street — a Greecologies and Pure Green.

Here's more about Greecologies from a June 2015 New York Times feature:

Yogurt is made on the premises at Greecologies, an airy emporium in Little Italy that offers the thick and tangy strained style of Greek yogurt as well as a sweeter, unstrained variety that comes with a layer of cream on top and whey on the bottom. Both use Hudson Valley milk, as does a lovely cultured butter spread that can also be stirred into strong coffee.

The menu includes a variety of Greek yogurts as well as desserts, coffees and teas. This will be the second NYC location for Greecologies.

Here's more about Pure Green, which has multiple NYC locations, from the company website:

Pure Green's focus is to make it easy to live a healthy lifestyle. Our philosophy is everyone should experience sustained energy throughout the day. Starting your day with our cold-pressed juice, drinking our handcrafted smoothies and nutrient-rich snacks will restore your energy and RECHARGE YOUR LIFE.

This is an ultra-competitive market for juices and smoothies. For starters, one block to the north, there's the well-entrenched Juice Press on 10th Street just east of Second Avenue … and Liquiteria on Second Avenue and 11th Street ... and there's beQu Juice on Ninth Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue... with a a shop called JuiceGo opening soon directly across Ninth Street. Plus, there's Juice Vitality at 192 First Ave. between 11th Street and 12th Street ... and East Village Organic on First Avenue between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place sells fresh juice ... as does Commodities on First Avenue between 10th Street and 11th Street. (Added: The Be Juice shop next to Basics Plus on Third Avenue between 12th Street and 13th Street.)

Juice Vitality coming to 1st Avenue



The coming soon sign is up at 192 First Ave., where Juice Vitality (JV) is next up to take the storefront here between East 11th Street and East 12th Street.

The signage notes that they will serve and sell smoothies, fresh juice and bubble tea, all of which are in ample supply in the neighborhood.

Fancy Juice now open on 1st Avenue



Several readers noted the arrival of Fancy Juice this past weekend on First Avenue between East Fourth Street and East Fifth Street… selling various juices, milkshakes and, yes, acai bowls…



The storefront here at 69 First Ave. was previously home to Burkina (aka Got it 4 cheap™), which closed in March.

Be Juice coming to 3rd Avenue



The cold-press juice craze shows no sign of slowing down (oh wait until the juiceocalypse!). Signs are up now for a new Be Juice location on Third Avenue between East 12th Street and East 13th Street adjacent to the new Basics Plus, which opened Friday.



Where's the door?



The folks at Basic Plus said that the juicers will have a walk-up window … and it will be open for business in another week.

Anyway, Be Juice opened a location on East 13th Street and University Place back in the spring — also attached to a Basics Plus.

Here's to your juice cleanse.
