So what's going into the former East Village Chocolates by the Bald Man space? It's none other than a bank--the fourth one in a two-block radius:
Chase banks on every corner. [CR]

Great. 8th Avenue b/w 14th and 23rd, already a wasteland of mediocre cuisine (minus the gem Taza de Oro and the fine, but pricey Gascogne, has added the following in the past year or so:
Qdoba
Chipotle
Original Roy's Pizza (how about that one?)
...and now Ruben's Empanada's
Wonder what will arrive when the Blockbuster shutters...
I used to love Ruben's until last year when they renovated their space in the EV and started putting raisins or something in the empanadas. It was a dive and it should have stayed that way.
dive? There will be no dives in Bloomie's new New York!
Is this an off-shoot of their location in the EV??or are they leaving the EV and moving to Chelsea??
i think Ruben's is expanding
