Haque Convenience Store is now the Beer & Smoke Shop on 1st Avenue


[Image via Yelp]

The Haque Convenience Store at 149 First Ave. just north of Ninth Street closed for renovations (per the sign on the door) on Dec. 22... not sure if there are new owners here... but there is a new name and signage... a reader shared this from last evening... please welcome the Beer & Smoke Shop...



This is NOT to be confused with the Smoke & Beer shop on Avenue A.

    The kids love that beer and smoke as much as that smoke and beer.

    Yet another blight on the EV landscape. Hopefully they, and all the other places devoted to booze and cigs, will shutter sooner rather than later.

    Ugh, the old sign was classic. These dumb plasticky smoke shop bullshit, they just keep coming.

    "Blight on the landscape"? Its a bodega. Are you saying that mom and pop small business bodegas are a blight on the landscape? Perhaps banks and Walgreens and high end coffee shops are more your style? There are lots of dry couties in Arkansas and Texas. Perhaps those places are more suited to your lifestyle.

    A bodega doesn't assault me with high beam lights and shelf upon shelf of vape guns

    "Blight on the landscape"???? I don't understand these comments. There are fewer of these little stores than when I moved to NYC 25 years ago. The bro's didn't bring the bodega to the East Village.

    Seems like people are just looking to bitch about anything.
