P.S.
With apologies to BaHa for that headline.

Bread and Butta is hiring

We've been following the saga of Bread and Butta on Avenue C near 11th Street for the past year or so... Prospects didn't look so good there for awhile...but, as EV Grieve reader Brad212 noted, the coffee shop is hiring...




Perhaps they want to hire the Gorilla Coffee staff?

Bread and buttah may officially be toast

Perhaps the saga of Bread and Butta on Avenue C near 11th Street is coming to an end. We've seen various legal documents slapped on the storefront this past year...and now, the windows have been whited out...



...and yet another legal notice awaits the owners. This one looks pretty final. Thanks to EV Grieve reader DianeB for this shot...



As far as we know, the place never even had the chance to open.

It seems as if the problems continue for aspiring eatery Bread and Butta on Avenue C near 11th Street.

Reader DianeB passed along these photos... According to her: "I saw the notice, $12,200 in back rent due. This is the third non-payment notice in about 8 months. If this place actually opens a buttered roll and coffee will have to sell for $19.99 to take care of all the debts piling up."

A few new things on Avenue C

This two-story building at 151 Ave. C -- two doors south of C-Squat between Ninth Street and 10th Street -- is now on the market. There was no information about this property listed on the My Broker Web site. (And is Speakeasy still around on the second floor? I thought it closed...)



And between 10th Street and 11th Street -- a dry cleaner is opening...



And there's a new cafe called Bread & Butta opening between 11th Street and 12th Street...in a space that has been empty for a few years, as I recall...
