Yankee doodle Deli demoliton

Several EVG readers have shared photos and tips in recent days/weeks that Yankee Deli and Yankee Pizza are currently closed on Avenue C and 11th Street, with the deli now undergoing a gut renovation. (Thanks to Jose Garcia for the top picture.) 

We've heard everything that the businesses are closed for good ... to they are just closed for renovations. 

FWIW, there are closed for renovations signs posted on the gates of both storefronts...

We'll know soon enough if this is an actual closed for renovations or more of a peelin' potatoes variety situation.
