Last Thursday, we passed along the sad news that Open Pantry was going to close it 45-year-old coffee shop/grocery at 184 Second Ave. in the weeks ahead.
The sign above on the Open Pantry front door explains.
There's now a listing on Craigslist noting that the store is selling its inventory and equipment.
Not much info is featured on the listing (including the name Open Pantry, but the photos all show the familiar interior) ...
Several readers on our previous post said that the proprietors, the Pappas family, also own the building here between East 11th Street and East 12th Street.

Unfortunately, they can and will get a higher rent from whatever tenant comes along. I'll miss them.
Oh no! This is our local deli. There are other small bodegas nearby who are open later, but the staff here are super nice and we often popped in for milk, soda or simple groceries. We'll miss them.
Great place with good people. Will miss my morning coffee from them...
I give up. Again.
As what's his name said, don't mourn, organize.
