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.

One of those smoke shops was in my building and was shut down by the cops, but the tenant can't actually be evicted because the lease is still valid. So, while they spend months or years in court, we will have an empty storefront. It's the landlord's fault for knowingly renting to that business, but it's the other tenants and neighbors who now have to live with this blight.
Either that landlord doesn't really care or they're a damn fool. Operating an illegal business in the space should be non-curable grounds for default.
