The storefront at 60 2nd Ave. (the former Black Ant) is for rent

A for-lease sign has arrived outside 60 Second Ave. between Third Street and Fourth Street. 

The listing isn't online at Meridian Capital Group just yet.

This marks the official end of Black Ant. During the summer, a sign was up stating, "We are temporary [sic] closed." (This despite an Instagram post stating their last day was June 2.)

The closure coincides with the recent sale of the two buildings at 58 and 60-62 Second Ave., which sold for nearly $14 million.

The Black Ant opened in May 2014. The place drew generally solid reviews and attention for its ingredients, including "tribal delicacies like grasshoppers, worms and, yes, the namesake ant."
