Wine bar aiming to take over former Furry Land Pet Supplies

Furry Land Pet Supplies closed up here on Avenue A near East 12th Street last January... Now, a couple hopes to open a wine bar in this space. The applicants are on the July CB3/SLA docket.

We'll have more information on this later. Meanwhile, the proprietors did meet with neighbors, one of whom noted that, aside from wine, they will serve "light appetizer-type food." No kitchen. With a closing time of 2 a.m.

The CB3/SLA meeting is next Monday at 6:30 p.m. The usual place: JASA/Green Residence, 200 E. Fifth St. at the Bowery.

The remains of Furry Land are now in a dumpster on Avenue A

When we reported that the Marshal has seized Furry Land Pet Supplies on Avenue A the other day, several people hoped that this might just be a temporary setback for the store.

Apparently not. EV Grieve reader dwg pointed out yesterday afternoon that workers were clearing out the store and tossing things into the above dumpster.

Marshal seizes Furry Land Pet Supplies on Avenue A

EV Grieve reader FlatFoot passes along word that the marshal has seized Furry Land Pet Supplies on Avenue A between 12th Street and 13th Street...

Per FlatFoot: "Mustafa (Mike) the owner had been a really great neighbor and I bought all of my pet supplies from him. He also took in unwanted kittens and found homes for them. A loss to the neighborhood."

Neighborhood kids always seemed to like the birds out front...
