Several applicants have kicked the tires on this space through the years to no avail. As far as we can recall, the place has been empty since Preserve 24's eviction in 2014.

Joey Bats Café making its Essex Market debut
Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy
The latest Joey Bats Café makes its soft-opening debut today... at the Essex Market.
Yesterday, I spotted founder Joey Batista and his mother, Isabel Fernandes, at the market's newest stall...
The Café only serves original-flavor pastéis de natas (aka, Portuguese custard tarts) and Portuguese coffee, with other flavors planned for the future.
Joey is aiming for daily hours of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. — except Sunday when the Market closes at 6 p.m.
After visiting with Joey and Isabel, I went downstairs to see the Market Line, which sadly was pretty empty compared to the bustling Essex Market.
News broke earlier this month that the food hall inside Essex Crossing is closing on April 1.
The vendors I spoke with asked me to tell people they will be here for another month and a half...

Per the McSorley's Instagram account: "We look forward to seeing all of you. Stay well and 'Be Good.'"

Updated 2/28: The cafe will remain open. Read more about it here.
-----
After six years anchoring the NW corner of Avenue A and 12th Street, Boris & Horton, the city's first dog-friendly cafe, announced today that it was closing effective Feb. 26.
The notice came via Instagram from daughter-father co-owners Logan Mikhly and Coppy Holzman... the brand is also closing the newer Williamsburg location...
Ownership did not offer a specific reason behind the closings and said they were opting to "celebrate the great times we've had as New York's first dog-friendly cafe."
For the next 11 days, Boris & Horton will sell merchandise and fixtures "at a deep discount."
Later in 2018, Boris & Horton expanded its footprint in the building along Avenue A.
News of the closing shocked regulars, with the Instagram post prompting hundreds of comments in less than 20 minutes.
