Artistic Tea Concept Finds Home in the East Village
A trio of New York artists will open VVN’s Tea at 194 First Ave. in the East Village, thanks to a five-year lease arranged by Eastern Consolidated’s James Famularo and Greg Goldberg on behalf of the space’s landlord. Every paper cup served at the shop will be an open canvas, printed with artwork by a local artist.
“VVN’s Tea is a unique concept created not only as a great tea-drinking experience, but also as an effective and fun way to share art and promote local artists,” Famularo said.
The Famularo team recently arranged a 1,200-square-foot lease at 192 First Ave. for Chelsea Thai, an eatery that operated a kiosk at Chelsea Market for 19 years. “The East Village and Lower East Side continue to be two of the most sought-after neighborhoods in New York City, and are continuing to attract an influx of new restaurants and retailers,” said Famularo.
