Yoo's Convenience Store — home of New York's 'best coffee' — going out of business on 2nd Avenue



The time for Yoo's is coming to an end at 50 Second Ave. …



The owner (is it Mr. Yoo?) said that the landlord is doubling his rent. "How can they do this?" he said while shaking his head. "But what are you going to do."

We'll miss the handwritten notes here boasting having the best coffee in the city…

    How can this city not have some sort of protection for independent businesses against what amounts to nothing less than murder?

    DOUBLING the rent? For real?

    Murder seems a touch strong....

    Was it on a ten year lease for instance? Might provide some context....
