Beyond the sea: Crab Du Jour shapes up on 1st Avenue

Work continues at 225 First Ave. between 13th Street and 14th Street, the future home of a Crab Du Jour outpost. As you can see, the Crab signage is in place. (First reported here.) 

So this is the latest NYC location for the expanding chain described as a Cajun Seafood Boil & Bar. 

Per the restaurant's website:

Crab Du Jour offers experience-driven seafood dining in a fun, communal atmosphere, perfect for friends and family. Our Cajun-inspired eatery is known for fresh seafood boils (made for sharing) and an array of signature house-blended sauces, to enhance the experience. 

Not sure about an opening date ... they are currently in hiring mode...

This address was previously a Checkers, which closed late last year after six years in business.
