Last night, a reader walked by Obscura Antiques and Oddities on 10th Street near Avenue A — and spotted workers clearing out the store.
But wait. It turns out that the reality television darlings (we mean that in a positive way!) are only moving to a larger store in the neighborhood, though they can't say where yet. The Obscura Antiques Facebook page has more details:
OK....a bit of bad news....but good news too...We are moving...sooner then we had thought. We must be out of our current space by the end of January...Thats 3 days from now....but the new space isnt ready yet...so we are closing until the new place is ready and we can move into it...Which will hopefully be soon....like near the end of February. If you are coming to NYC and plan to visit in the next month.....We are very sorry.....We will not be there....But when we do reopen...its in a space about twice the size of our former store...and the place used to be a Funeral Home...so its win/win for all. We will post all of our info soon...such as where the new shop will be. Its actually very close to our former shop....maybe 3 or 4 blocks away....
Hmm, we know of one former funeral home that's nearby... like this one right here.

My guess: 207 Ave A. It was the home of the Sparacio & DeMarco Funeral Home, followed by Jane's Exchange (now @ E 3rd St near Ave B), and most recently Harry Allen's Design showroom.
wasn't there a f.h. on east 7th street..near big gay ice cream....
@9:59, I'm sure your right. I noticed the brown paper on the window the other day wondered who was moving in there
I'm SO happy for them! Mike and Evan are awesome people. I interviewed them a few years ago.
smells like Pawn Stars.
