Earlier this month, we reported that the Met Foods on Third Avenue between East 16th Street and East 17th Street will be closing at a date to-be-determined this spring.
The for rent sign is now up at the space. We didn't spot a listing for it online just yet.
Meanwhile, the mood inside isn't so good. Said EVG reader Harry Weiner, who shared the above photo: "There is a subdued atmosphere of gloom in the store…"

DR is just a few blocks south on 14th and 3rd but that won't stop another one going in here.
