Ever since Eater reported several weeks ago that Subway at 400 East 14th Street (at 1st Avenue) closed, we've been keeping an eye on the site's construction. The renovations are definitely underway on a spacious new bar and restaurant--or so we assume, per a window work permit that covers, "new layout for existing store on the first floor to accommodate a new eating and drinking establishment."

As of last week, lights are on, and, though the windows are still covered, we were able to snap a few interior shots through the fog. It's still got a ways to go, but there's certainly been some rapid progress. Stay tuned for updates on when this as-yet-unnamed spot will be opening, and info on exactly what type of "eating and drinking establishment" it will be. Because judging from that beverage case, it could be anything--like, say, a glorified deli or a glorified diner.
