Tribeca Pediatrics opening an outpost on 1st Avenue



An EVG reader (and parent) shares the news that Tribeca Pediatrics is opening an office at 205 First Ave. between East 12th Street and East 13th Street.

The storefront previously housed the Mecca of Hair.

As for Tribeca Pediatrics, there's no word yet on when they will apply for a beer-wine license — just to have something to pair with the Pentacel.

There goes the Mecca of Hair



Workers have gutted the former Lugo Hair Center at 209 First Ave. between East 12th Street and East 13th Street…



Not sure exactly when they closed (with that cinderblock storefront, they never looked all that open).

But the place had fans. The Village Voice named them "Best Place to Get Hair Extensions" in 2013, noting: "The East Village's Lugo's Hair Center, which specializes in extensions and wigs, provides beautiful … manes made specifically for you. The process is long and taxing, but well worth it (they don't call themselves the 'mecca of hair' for nothing)."

The business, which apparently opened in 1976, still has a Brooklyn outpost.
