Second on Second sets farewell party

Early last week, a tipster told us that Second on Second, the 10-year-old karaoke bar on Second Avenue, was closing at the end of this month... a combination of rising rent and slumping business...

The bar at 23 Second Ave. has made the closing official now... the farewell party is Jan. 31.


Meanwhile, on the topic of karaoke, a tipster points out that the Sing Sing emporium on St. Mark's Place has been on the market in recent months ... a few details via LoopNet (subscription required)...

Claim: Second on Second closing this month on Second Avenue

Second on Second, the 10-year-old karaoke bar on Second Avenue, is closing at the end of the month, according to a tipster...


The tipster said that there was a rent hike, but it wasn't all that unreasonable. While business had been lagging a bit ... the tipster believes that there is still a market for karaoke...

No word on what might be next here. It's a cavernous space that will likely be highly desirable for some new venture...

So, after this month, the Cock will be the last bar left on the block here between East Second Street and East First Street. The Urge, the gay bar/club at 31-33 Second Ave., closed after New Year's Eve. They are expected to reopen this year at the long-vacant 14 Avenue B.

And you can expect some big changes soon enough a storefront away from Second on Second at 31-33 Second Ave. ...


As we reported on June 27, Ben Shaoul is planning on adding three floors to the existing building.

Lastly, Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken will eventually be taking over the corner space at East First Street. Oh, and there's always Mars Bar 2.0.
