The Pudgie's-Nathan's-Arthur Treacher's action-packed combo is officially dead, officially

Back in the dark days of January, signs went up noting that the Pudgie's-Nathan's-Arthur Treacher's action-packed combo was "closed for renovations."

[The darks days of January]

The fryplex of fatty fun opened on First Avenue in June... by the fall, the joint was for sale. The asking price was $189,000.

We held out hope for a return, a renovated restaurant where we could stand proudly under the Pudgie's canopy out front.

But that was not to be. We spotted this sign last weekend...



Farewell, our feathered Pudgie friend... farewell... until we see you again at the West Islip branch...


Oh, and on a more serious note... the asking rent for this space between Third Street and Fourth Street is $7,500.

    Maybe a new three-way cluster f*ck business will open in its place...
    Imagine an Olive Garden combined with Italian Wines and a Bank
    Or a Pinkberry-Vickys Secret-Betty Page joint

    The Branding possibilities are endless...

    I'd rather see the Lebanese bakery that originally had that spot (I think) in the 80's...semolina rolls too good to eat just one!

    Is all the stuff still in there? I gotta find out what they want for key money. Someone make a call for me, I'm busy not eating Pudgies.

    @ Doug

    I bought all the fryers, and put them in my apartment. Oh, say — does anyone know how to hook up a gas line?

    4:20,

    The new awning does look nice. But no mention of their extensive crack pipe selection.

    At least they still sell Yoohoo.
