An EV Grieve reader points us to the Bleecker Bob's Facebook page, where they posted the following yesterday afternoon...
So, they are not closing — just moving. Store spokesperson J.K. Kiptzer, partner of owner Bob Plotnick, told WNYC yesterday that they hope "to find something a little more affordable in the next few months on the Lower East Side." Read more about this possibility at Jeremiah's this morning...
So. Let's help them out. Here's one idea: Avenue A at Fifth Street ... former home of East Village Pharmacy, who moved down the Avenue...
The number on the for rent sign: (212) 473-6349.
Anyone? There is plenty of space available around here...
UPDATED:
We just heard from Ski, assistant manager at Bleecker Bob's.
"The spaces we've checked out so far in the east village are 650-800 square feet at a cost of about $4000 a month. Something like that would be doable."

Thanks. I'm going to need a deposit on your comment...
plenty of space on 2nd avenue between 3 st and 6th st. lots of vacancies
What about 34 Avenue aka the old Aces & Eights-Mo Pitkins space? Too big?
No liquor license but would the cranky neighbors still bitch?
The Superdive space,make it Superbob.
Theres a ton of vacancies on 14th Street between A and B, a former Jewelry Store, the old 99 cent store...
I nominate the old Octavia space on Avenue B!
The old hardware store space on 3rd ave between 11 and 12 has been empty for 3-4 years.
I’d love it if Bleecker Bob’s moved to the old Vampire Freaks or Furry Land spaces on Ave A either side of 12th. There are already two record stores right there on 12th (Academy b/t 1st and A; Big City b/t A and B). We could make it a “record row,” like the thrift-store stretch on east 23rd, or the back-in-the-day bookseller row of upper 4th Ave.
I like that old pharmacy spot. MOstly because it's right next to me :)
