A Petite Maison pop-up on Avenue B

Petite Maison, a pop-up featuring secondhand, upcycled and reimagined clothing and objects, is open through Sunday (Aug. 16) at 167 Avenue B between 10th and 11th streets. 

The shop is an offshoot of La Vie Après L’Amour, whose home base in Kingston, N.Y., includes a cafe, boutique and atelier. 

According to signage at the storefront, the collection focuses on secondhand items that have been "upcycled, mended, reimagined, and given a new life." 

Hours are noon-7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and noon-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 

There's also a closing reception on Sunday, with Kingston-based singer-songwriter Ginger Winn playing a set at 3:30 p.m.

The brand got its start in a Brooklyn apartment back in 2018.

The Avenue B space was previously home to Hekate Cafe & Elixir Lounge.

Skinny Buddha pops up with vegan fare on 1st Street

Skinny Buddha, a vegan food business with outposts in Scarsdale and Mt. Cisco, has opened a pop-up cafe at 45 E. First St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

Through October, you can find menu items such as açaí bowls, smoothies, burgers and veggie bowls here.

The space had been the coffee bar Cocoa Grinder for a few months. The business never took off, in part because their opening coincided with the (now concluded) months-long water-main work on the block... not to mention the ongoing condoplex construction on the corner of Second Avenue blocked off half of the street for a few years.
