Polish G. I. Delicatessen signage comes down on 1st Avenue

Workers yesterday removed the Polish G. I. Delicatessen awning at 109 First Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place.

The space is undergoing renovations for what is believed to be an outpost of Shawarma House, which specializes in halal Turkish dishes from a quick-serve space on West 39th Street and a cart on Staten Island.

Polish G. I. Delicatessen, the Eastern European specialty foods shop, closed this past July after 21 years in business. Read more about that closure here.
