Signage alert: Kebabishq on 2nd Avenue

Signage is up for the incoming tenant at 128 Second Ave. — Kebabishq.

The logo features the words "Bold," "Skewered," and "Indian." We were unable to find any information about the business.
There have been solid quick serve places here between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place, but, unfortunately, no one has had great success over the past nine years: 

• Seasoned Vegan Real Quick, 20 months (closed April 2025
• Tony's Pizza, 20 months (closed April 2023)
• Nolita Pizza, 12 months, (relocated to Kenmare Street in June 2020) 
• Kati Roll Company, 29 months (closed in April 2019

The Stage, the 35-year-old lunch counter, closed in March 2016 following an ongoing legal/eviction battle with landlord Icon Realty. 

Icon bought the building in the fall of 2013 for $7.5 million.
