Permits have been filed with the NYC Buildings Department for a new eating and drinking establishments.
Before Athena, the storefront was home to '213 Mexican' and before that "El Pitayo'. If my memory serves me right, the space once housed a Japanese restaurant.
(Does anyone remember past that?)
No word yet on what this new eatery will be.

It was "Wasabi" for a number of years. For a little while we had Wasabi, Faan, and then the place that is now a Thai restaurant across the street was also serving sushi.
I remember the day when I realized that Smith street suddenly had their first sushi restaurants and then realized that they were all within rock-throwing distance of each other. Those were heady times.
Wasabi! you are so right. Yea, I remember those days, when the first sushi places opened on Smith.
I even remember when Marquet Pastry opened on Smith Street. And the No Bolony Café.
That spot seems to be cursed. I went to El Pitayo and Wasabi one time each (underwhelmed both times). I never bothered with Athena; its prices didn't seem right for a Greek joint.
(There is a good new Greek place on Columbia St - Water's Edge. I recommend.)
Hoping whoever moves in can break the curse!
