Kung Fu Tea closes on St. Mark's Place

A for-rent sign arrived in the window yesterday at Kung Fu Tea, marking the official end of the business here at 28 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. (H/T Steven!)

The business had been closed during announced hours of late... leading to suspicions that it had shuttered. (And likely much to the chagrin of the electric unicycle crowd that met up here.)

Kung Fu arrived at this spot in 2014 after relocating from First Avenue and 10th Street. The global chain still has more than 40 outposts in the greater metropolitan area.

    Is anyone in City Hall aware that retail is fleeing Manhattan? This administration is going to put the kill shot and finish the decline that started rolling down hill since DeBlasio's last year and his poor handling of the George Floyd riots.
