Former Joe Jr's space looking empty and lonely ... and suspiciously like a future nail salon

Walked by the former home of Joe Jr's at Sixth Avenue and 12th Street for the first time in months ... The "for rent" sign is still up, and the space is all cleaned out, and looking like it's prepped for a bland doctor's office or, more likely, a nail salon...

Looking at Joe Jr's

Walked by the former home of Joe Jr's the other day at Sixth Avenue and 12th Street...not much doing...



...the space next door is also now available....

Joe Jr's has closed

I thought that Joe Jr's was closing today. As you likely read (via Serious Eats, Eater, Grub Street, David Kamp or the Times), the iconic diner on Sixth Avenue at 12th Street was calling it a day. So I wanted to stop by one last time for a meal. Not to write about -- Jeremiah and Brooks both have eloquent posts on the topic.

Anyway, was too late. Joe's has already closed. (And the Joe Jr's on the corner of the sign is missing...)





There's a sign on the front window for people to leave messages...thanking Joe's for the memories, etc.






Meanwhile, the interior has already been pulled apart.




And the bat!



Back out front, a man remarked to his girlfriend: "All the great old places we like have been destroyed."

"The Sorcerer's Apprentice" filming today on Sixth Avenue: What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Lots of film equipment parked around the Boobs Barf & Beyond store on Sixth Avenue. Run, Chelsea, run!

Jeremiah has the tally from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" so far.... And here's BoweryBoogie's coverage of the Nic Cage pic.

FYI -- Most shit is on sale

Sixth Avenue in the 20s.
