Hey, that Wells Fargo is now open on East 14th Street near Fourth Avenue... at the site of the mostly awful but serviceable (mostly!) Cafe Amore's Pizza Restaurant...
And is this where the Tad's Steak's was before the pizzeria...?

Great, now I'm going to have the soundtrack to Music Man going through my head all day.
Tad's steak it was I believe. Right next to Luchow's
Yes, that was the site of Tad's. RIP to it and that great red-flocked wallpaper it had.
The Royal Red Wallpaper had a velvet quality and a texture - must've been impossible to clean - why Tads was such a dump.
Oh fantastic! I was just saying what we needed on the block was another bank! Oh joy!
@Anon 10:54 - that is what flocked wallpaper is - it's part paper, part cut velvet. Very popular in Victorian parlors and bordellos, and yes, a real dust-catcher. But I prefer to think of Tad's not as a dump, but as a faded dowager, who despite not being in the best of shape was ever friendly and welcoming. I still remember how nice the smiling guys behind the counter always were.
@Spike, I was humming that tune as I clicked on the comments. http://youtu.be/AaT0s6Gx2FI
people do need banks you know. you gonna leave your money in your apartment?
"gonna leave your money in your apartment?"
probably a good idea - but only if you have millions
Jeez as a kid I ate at both Tad's Steak and Lüchow's on more special occasions [now of course its anither NYU toilet]... running around S.Klein & Mays... I feel old now.
