Back in September 2011, a "for rent" sign went up above Native Bean at 50 Avenue A... Per the listing, it's a 10-year lease at $10,000 per month.
Well. Now 18 months later, workers have removed the "for rent" sign. (On March 1.)
And in its place last Thursday, a new Native Bean sign now greets passersby...
While the listing remains online, a tipster who frequents the cafe believes that they are staying put. Plus, as the tipster notes, the Native Bean has just added new menu items, such as a grilled chicken sandwich and caramel apples(!). Plus! They just installed a small aquarium.
We haven't heard any
official confirmation. Ali, the owner, is currently away.
