A worker on the scene told EVG contributor Derek Berg that this lower-level storefront — the longtime home of the Grassroots Tavern — is becoming a doggy daycare center.
And that's all we have at the moment.
At least five brokers have tried to lease the space since the Grassroots Tavern closed here after New Year's Eve 2017 after 42 years (upstairs tenant Sounds shuttered in 2015).
At least two potential tenants have kicked No. 20's tires (including this pub concept that signed a lease), but nothing has materialized since January 2018.
As noted, No. 20, the Daniel LeRoy House, was built in 1832. It received landmark status in 1971 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Past lives of this subterranean space — info via Daytonian in Manhattan — include a theater saloon called Paul Falk's Tivoli Garden in the 1870s... in the 1930s, the Hungarian Cafe and Restaurant resided here before becoming a temperance saloon called the Growler.
nnnnnnnooooooooooo!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDoggy day care x Smokeshop probably.
Was really hoping this was be something cool. Especially after the murals were discovered behind the walls during renovation..
Doggie Daycare Center?
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that in order to cover that rent, the rates charged will be in the Kardashian range.
Meh....Onward and upward......
I guess if you can afford $3,000 for a designer dog from a puppy mill, on top of $5,000 rent, you’ll be able to afford what this place is gonna have to charge to cover their own rent.
ReplyDeleteit's def a off location for a doggie daycare but but better than a smoke shop bank or coffee spot
ReplyDeleteWhere are all of the people who complain about bars? Shouldn’t they be celebrating this?
ReplyDeleteoh jesus fucking christ.
ReplyDeleteYou’re got to be fucking kidding me…
ReplyDeleteThe neighborhood desperately needs a doggy daycare. If you have a dog, you know, sometime you just need someone to take care of them for the day. This is very overdue!!
