We thought Sammy was a goner.
Sammy's Halal looked all but closed in the spring, with boxes stacked inside the front window. The space was dark for weeks.
And then we saw some activity this month ... then Sammy's Halal reopened last week at 109 First Ave. between Sixth Street and Seventh Street with new signage and interior design.
The counter in the previous space was in the back, and it didn't look inviting to enter. Now, you can order right inside the front door. There are also a few seats for dining.
You can check out the Sammy's menu here.
The Sammy's signage first arrived in January 2018... taking over the address from Polish G. I. Delicatessen, the Eastern European specialty foods shop that closed in July 2017 after 21 years in business.
