Post by Subway Inn, A.S. NY Eater report s:
… The well-loved neighborhood dive was kicked out of its 77-year-old home by developers last year, and its owners, the Salinas family, have been gradually moving everything over to the new location and documenting it all on Facebook. The booths? They’re in place. The restored bar? It’s there too. As for that sign, the owners promise, “yes, that is the exact same neon sign….
… no word yet on an exact opening date…
