Back in March, we noticed construction taking place at 44-64 21st Street, the former site of Astoria Florist.1 When we took a closer look, we saw that The Department of Buildings issued a permit to renovate the retail space on the ground floor, which includes the basement.
Last week, took a look inside, and as you can see from the first photo below, the machine that appears in the middle of the photo looks like an open display refrigerator.2 If that’s true, then 44-64 21st Street will likely turn into an eatery of some sort.
