A little bit of Soho in the East Village: From steamed lobster to steamed dry cleaning

Thanks to the tipster for pointing out that the former Urban Lobster, which closed in late March, will soon be home to a dry cleaner on Houston near Avenue A. Well, nothing wrong with that, I suppose, except...



Kapri II dry cleaners is about 200 feet to the east on Houston...

Dead Lobster

I noticed the "Store For Rent" signs hanging on Urban Lobster on Houston near Avenue A last week...I called and asked the counter person what was up. I was told the signs were for another property the landlord had. Hmm-mmm.

Yesterday afternoon, Gothamist confirmed that the location is closing today.
