[Updated] Reader report: Fares Deli reopening on Avenue A

Last month, the State seized Fares Deli on Avenue A near St. Mark's Place for "non payment of taxes."


This morning, EVG reader mdmn walked by and spotted workers restocking and repacking the shelves. A man who seemed to be in charge Longtime owner-operator Tony (Abdul), pictured here with his back to the camera, said that the store was reopening...

I saw Tony this morning - he also confirmed that Fares is reopening.

Thanks. Do you know if Tony will be involved with the "new" Fares?

If Fares is re-opening with Tony and the crew, I say...HOORAY!

I didn't directly ask him whether he is still running the joint, but I've spoken to him a few times since Fares closed, and he maintains that there was just a "misunderstanding" concerning taxes that would blow over soon - so I think it's likely he's still in charge

Spoke to him yesterday on the street, Tony said he was "coming back" No details.
