Signage alert: SKWR on 1st Avenue

Signage arrived last week for SKWR at 139 First Ave. between St. Mark's Place and Ninth Street. 

This is a new skewer concept... which we don't know anything about. 

There's a placeholder Instagram account for the quick-serve establishment here

No. 139 was previously Surprise Scoop, billed as "the world's first flavor roulette ice cream shop." In announcing their closure last month, the Scoop team announced that they "decided to give the space to friends who are interested in opening a skewer concept in the East Village."
