Ben's Deli is temporarily closed for renovations

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy 

Ben's Deli is now temporarily closed for renovations here at 32 Avenue B between Second Street and Third Street. 

This was expected after longtime owner Ben Gibran sold the business earlier this year to a cousin, Sammy Ksem. 

The shop, expected to be closed for two to three months, will still go by Ben's Deli. 

Here's a look at the last night... as the shelves were thinned out ...
You can also expect the return of the excellent in-store vendor Los Tacos Poca Madre...
On the last night, Haas was behind the counter...
... as well as Ben, making a rare return to this spot where he greeted generations of customers...
We still hope to see Ben on the block from time to time...
