Workers are cleaning out the space at 75 St. Mark's Place this afternoon, as this photo by EV Grieve reader David shows...
The bar closed back on Jan. 29. Robert Ehrlich, the founder of Pirate Brands, and Barbara Sibley, the owner of La Palapa next door, are teaming up to open a tavern-restaurant that serves staples such as fish-n-chips.
Sibley told Grub Street that they were "going to try to preserve as much of the history as possible."

Somebody save the phone booth!
*sob*
At least it died an natural death.
There's nothing worse than when something hangs around as a former shell of itself.
Was there anything worth salvaging from that pile?
@Randall
I walked by around 5:30, and someone had removed all the boxes, chairs, etc. from the sidewalk.
I half expected to find the phone booth out there...
Does anyone remember when Lurch worked there?
