Reader report: Crab Shack in the works for former Japadog space on St. Mark's Place

After two-plus years at 30 St. Mark's Place, Japadog closed for good this past Feb. 28.

Interior renovations started yesterday on the next venture: Crab Shack, a restaurant specializing in (duh) crab … this info is via neighbor Jordy Trachtenberg, who spoke with one of the owners.

And that's all the info that we have at the moment…

    St. Mark's has always been known as a place to get crabs. Well, it was back in the day. Great to see the old East Village making a comeback.

    Anon 8:47, that's interesting ... because my first reaction was that I can't think of an less appealing or authentic place to eat crabs than St. Mark's Place. Then again my family hails from Baltimore. But if there's a historic connection, that's cool... (wonder if the new proprietors know that?)

    Anon 11:01, I think Anon 8:47 was talking about getting a different type of crab...

    STILL waiting for the Coney Island White Fish Shack to open. Now that’s New York.
