The 16 Handles outpost at 153 Second Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street has closed ahead of a move a few blocks south.
Door signage for patrons notes that 16H will reopen in a few months in a new Second Avenue home. (Plenty of storefronts to choose from between Third Street and St. Mark's Place.)
According to the sign, they were unable to reach a renewal agreement with the new landlord here...
This was the very first 16 Handles location, a business with more than 40 now, including in South Carolina, Texas, Illinois and Arizona. (The company founder passed away in 2024 at age 44.)
This arrival also ushered in a divisive FroYo era — Pinkberry, Flurt, YogoMonster, Daydream, Twister and, obviously, Funkiberry — a time that tested friendships, loyalties, and the limits of tartness.
