A Bespoke reader sent in the lower photo of the old Orbit space at the corner of East 116th Street at First Avenue and mentioned that there was more activity on the site. This East Harlem storefront at 2257 First Avenue was a somewhat popular cafe but shut down without much explanation a couple of years back. Permits filed in the latter half of 2011 stated that a drinking and eating establishment would arrive but recent paperwork provide even more clues. Apparently the new business will be a takeout restaurant according to permits filed in May but there appears to have been a lot of facade work done to make the storefront look presentable. Does anyone have a tip on what is arriving?
