Several EVG readers were surprised to find the Third Avenue outpost of the Bean closed for good this past Friday morning.
Closure notices directed patrons to visit the Bean locations on Second Avenue and Third Street, or on Broadway and Ninth Street.
There was also an equipment auction here on Saturday...
This branch at 31 Third Ave. at Stuyvesant Street opened in September 2017... taking over the space from St. Mark's Bookshop, which moved out in 2014 after struggling to stay in business here.
At one point, the coffee shop/cafe had five NYC locations.

Someone at their 2nd Avenue location said they had a big rent increase.

And the The Small Business Jobs Survival Act (SBJSA) was never given a full vote by the NYC Council. And to those REBNY trolls getting ready to pouce, the SBJSA is not commercial rent control.
"1. The Small Business Jobs Survival Act (SBJSA)
What it does: This long-standing City Council proposal does not strictly cap rent, but it forces landlords to undergo binding arbitration if they and the tenant cannot agree on renewal terms. It also guarantees qualifying small business tenants the right to a 10-year lease extension.
Status: It remains in the City Council’s Committee on Small Business, pending the necessary majority of co-sponsors to move to a vote."
Seems like they’ve been emptying out the block on that side of the triangle for years; I suspect someone must have a plan for it — maybe another cooper union tower or large condo construction?
Well that sucks. They were overpriced but they had a lot of seats.
