Signage alert: Halal Bites Pizza on 1st Avenue

Signage is up now for Halal Bites Pizza at 59 First Ave. between Third Street and Fourth Street. 

Per the awning (with the melty font and Pac-Man knock-offs), this establishment will offer slices for $1.50. 

The business takes over for Giggles Convenience, whose notable awning featured a hat-wearing skeleton smoking a bong. The unlicensed weed shop was busted more than a year ago. 

Gothamist published a piece last week about all the illegal cannabis places shuttered, leaving behind pockets of empty storefronts in neighborhoods with no apparent timelines for new leases. Perhaps cheap slicerias are the answer.
