Anwar Grocery remains closed on Avenue B



On Wednesday night, we're told that the NYPD shut down Anwar Grocery at 106 Avenue B just south of East Seventh Street…

At this point, we don't know what the closure is for… the store hasn't been open since the bust. And someone has removed the NYPD sticker from the gate.

Anwar was cited and briefly shut down for underage alcohol sales in March 2012.

According to the State Liquor Authority, their liquor license is inactive.

Shortly after that citation they stopped selling alcohol, or it was at least not visible.

I much prefer sunny and Annie's anyway.

That place always looked sketchy anyway...

I'll stay with the always reliable and friendly Sunny and Annie's down the avenue.
