A look inside the demo site at 11-17 Second Ave. yesterday morning showed that just a crumbling section of the Mars Bar's north wall remained... workers were busy bringing down that portion ... By now, we're assuming that it is all gone...
And here are a few shots from Bobby Williams taken yesterday... 9 (71/2) Second Ave. is next for extinction...

A lot of wonderful things have gone in NYC but Mars Bar hurts the most. So sad. Thanks for documenting, Bobby!
I'm always going to feel sick when I walk by that corner.
Horrific.
i think i can see my dignity peeking out from the bottom of the pile. i left it there one night...
Had a 1st date @ Mars Bar. Next couple years went sorta like these pictures...trainwreck. Still gonna miss both.
One of my memories is drinking at the bar late one evening and next to me a guy and his dog who was sitting on a seprate bar stool was drinking a beer at the bar. This was a long time ago...
(true story)Only in New York.
I didn't think it would bother me to see the building smashed once mars was closed because I had already mourned....but these pictures mad me relive missing Mars all over again. It's going to happen again I guess the first time I walk by the carnage....
