Trendy Juice Bar Taking Over Gray's Papaya Space

The new tenant in the Sixth Avenue space that housed Gray's Papaya until yesterday will be Liquiteria, the trendy juice bar beloved by celebrities and your fitness-obsessed co-worker. In other words, a cheap-o restaurant that peddled sugary juice drinks and salty dogs for three decades will be replaced by a shiny health food shop that sells pricey liquified kale and wheatgrass.

From a press release sent out by Liquiteria this afternoon: "Liquiteria's new West Village location, at the iconic corner of 8th Street and 6th Avenue, is the former location of legendary Gray's Papaya. Liquiteria is excited to create a health and wellness oasis on this vibrant corner in the dynamic West Village neighborhood." Blech.
