The J Crew on the Bowery is back open

After a nearly two-week closure, the J. Crew Men's Shop on the Bowery at Bleecker is back open as of late last week.

At first, there was a handwritten sign stating that the J. Crew Men's Shop was "temporarily closed."  Then a more formal sign on the storefront at 316 Bowery noted that the shop was "experiencing technical difficulties." 

The reopening has a notable absence: a reader said the coffee bar has been removed, per a reader.

This men's-concept outpost debuted last September. A J. Crew outpost is expected to open in the months ahead on Lafayette and Bond.
