You almost need a hard hat to walk the north side of Bloomfield Avenue between Gould Street and Grove Avenue. The steps are being rebuilt at Garden State Community Bank (the old Penn Federal location), but the big work is several steps west. The basement for John McEvoy’s new restaurant has been dug and on Thursday, crews were pouring the cement. The restaurant, as yet unnamed, will occupy the former Verona Camera lot and Sonny’s, which is now closed.
