Shuttered

In other closings news, The Meat Ball Shop on 76-77 and 2nd Avenue is no more. This “mail stop” removed itself from 1st Avenue (thus technically forfeiting its name) several years back. It was never customer friendly so I am surprised it lasted this long.

Do not go by my judgment. When this joint opened, with its games and eats, then drinks and games, I questioned its business model. Still standing and expanding!
