Seventh Avenue between Second and Third Streets is 2 for 4.

That’s right, two of the four vacant storefronts on that stretch of Seventh Avenue are now rented. The Second Street Cafe and Park Slope Books storefronts are still available. But the storefront, which housed Seventh Avenue Books, is becoming a store for “children’s exclusives.”

I don’t know if that’s toys or clothing.

It’s going into the building owned by Mark Ravitz Art and Design. It’s the building with the cyclops/octopus/sun drips. There were once dripping cows on that building.

Barrio, the groovy, new nouveau Mexican restaurant with the super-duper Margaritas, is in the spot vacated by Tempo Presto and Mojo/Carvel before that.

So, do I hear any interest in the Second Street Cafe?

The owners, I believe, are trying to sell the recently renovated restaurant. Interestingly, one of the owners used to work at Restaurant Florent, the legendary 24-hour diner-style restaurant on Manhattan’s Gansevoort Street. That restaurant, which was a harbinger of the uber-gentrification of the meat-packing neighborhood on the far Westside, is going out of business on June 29th.

Does anyone remember Evelyn’s Goat Cheese Salad? It was a specialty at Florent and also on the menu at Second Street Cafe.
