Leaving the neighborhood for a moment to relay some positive NYC bar-related news.
Earlier today, workers installed the original Subway Inn sign outside their new location at 1140 Second Ave. at 60th Street.
As previously reported, the bar had to vacate its home of 77 years on 60th and Lexington back in December to make way for new development via the World-wide Real Estate Group.
Per the Subway Inn Facebook page:
The same exact neon sign that hung for several decades now has a face lift and is ready to shine bright for many more years to come. And, before you ask us, yes that is the exact same Neon sign. The only difference is we painted the back using the same color as before.
As for the rest of the bar, the Salinas family promised the following:
The space will look exactly the same. Colors, floor and all! In fact, our replication architect is hard at work making sure our new home will be nearly identical. Also, our prices will not change.
Photos of the bar in progress back that up. There's no word just yet on the official (re)opening date.
