Pawsitive news: School for the Dogs relocates to larger space on 7th Street



School for the Dogs is up and running in a new East Village location — 92 E. Seventh St. just east of First Avenue.

The dog training center — now with more space as well as a small retail operation — moved here from Second Street near Avenue A.

This recent Instagram post shows how they've grown since the business started in co-owner Annie Grossman's Third Avenue apartment in 2012...

Big news: WE ARE MOVING! On Nov. 1 we will be opening in a new space at 92 E. 7th St., steps from 1st Ave. in Manhattan. It’s double the size of our current studio and has a yard, a spacious shop, a private consultation room, and more features which we are sure will please both our human and canine clients. We can’t wait to show it off to everyone! Thanks, especially, to everyone who funded the Kiva loan that helped make this move possible. (NB: We will be operating our current E. 2nd St. space as an annex for certain services and events for the next few months.) #schoolforthedogs #Sftd #eastvillage #eastvillagedogs #eastvillagelives #lesdogs #manhattandogs #nycdogs #nydogs #nycpuppies #dogschool #dogtrainingnyc #dogtraining #ccpdt #kpactp #eastseventhstreet #nyc #manhattan #nycsmallbusiness #kivaloan #kiva #smallbusiness #femaleownedbusiness

Uluh Tea House debuts on 2nd Avenue



Uluh Tea House made its soft opening last Tuesday at 152 Second Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street... here's a look at part of their menu, featuring a variety of teas (more than 30) and entrees (they also have desserts and pastries) ...







You can find more details and photos at Uluh's Instagram feed.

Uluh joins the Pure Green-PlantMade combo in the newish retail spaces at No. 152.

H/T Steven!

Dunkin' done on 1st Avenue at 13th Street



The former Dunkin' (Donuts) outpost on First Avenue between 12th Street and 13th Street has been gutted... and the space is now for rent... (thanks dwg for the tip and photos!)

This outpost closed back on Oct. 21. There's still a Dunkin' just a few blocks to the north...



No sign of any teary farewell signage at this Dunkin' (see this post). This also marks the second national chain (see Papa John's) to close this fall along this section of First Avenue.

It's like that: The completed Run-DMC mural on 12th and A



We've been documenting Eduardo Kobra's Run-DMC mural on 12th Street at Avenue A ... starting on Oct. 26 (then again last Sunday) ... here's the completed work...(A few people have wondered, with all the great Run-DMC songs, that the mural opts for "Walk This Way," an Aerosmith cover...)





Kobra also created the dual Michael Jackson mural on 11th Street at First Avenue back in the summer.
