The Bald Man sings

Whoa. Gothamist is reporting that Max Brenner/Chocolate by the Fat, Bald Guy has closed on Second Avenue and Ninth Street. Hmm...in January, the Chocolate Bar closed on Seventh Street.

Meanwhile, let's start the pool on what takes over that prime Bald Man space. I'm going with a Chase bank!

P.S.
If you want some sidewalk cafe stuff, then now is your chance. The shop is closed...and things look rather abandoned outside.

Cashed out

Second Avenue near Fourth Street.

Au revoir, Bounce Deuce

As Eater reported last week, Bounce Deuce looked suspiciously closed.



And over the weekend, rather vague confirmation signs went up....



Just closed for the summer...?

RIP for Bounce Deuce, known for "eye candy staff" and plastic tubes of beer?

Eater reports that Bounce Deuce, the bar with a name too easy to mock, may be closed. Eater notes that there have been no signs of life here at the corner of Second Avenue and Sixth Street, home to the Table Tapper -- a 3-foot plastic tube that holds 116-ounces of beer. (Bounce, its big brother on the UES, remains open.)

I walked by myself last night. All shut down. Fortunately, the BD Web site lives on...(and they're still advertising the Margarito fight from Jan. 24!)
