Eddie Huang chronicles his search for a downtown restaurant space focused on second-generation properties that come with built-in infrastructure. He considered two East Village locations: the former Black Seed Bagels and the now-closed Yummy Hive. Both offered potential, but competition for such spaces is intense and fetching a viable location where the restaurant can succeed is exceptionally challenging. Huang reflects on the difficulties of his search, particularly in a neighborhood saturated with existing food concepts.
