Who We Are

When we first opened in 2017, we chatted with our metal artist, Yvette at Babacool Arts, about a piece of art that captures the creative vibe of Avenue C. What would it be? A giant sun? A woman’s face?

Then one day we spotted a blue hood of a pickup in a pile of junk on the farm! Literally, the color couldn’t have been a more perfect match to our blue doors. Yvette created the Blue Goddess and captured exactly what we had in mind!

So, a lot of people ask… what does the C stand for in Avenue C?

Creative, Cool, Collaborative, Carefree, Cultural, Clever, Confident, Colorful…she is the Blue Goddess, our inspiration!
