Parrot, on Queens Blvd. and 46th, did them in. Better location, similar products and foods.
Unless Bariur’s turns into a real grocery store, it too will be done in by Parrot. Bariur has good coffee but little else to attract the average shopper. Parrot also has good coffee, and it’s less expensive. They also have hundreds of other products that appeal to the average shopper at reasonable prices.
what about us REAL MEN who love to dance with women. i miss the old sidetracks when they had dancing after 10 pm
Real men wear leather pants and run their mustaches together.
i think a strip club will bring a lot more money in
That’s a large space. Will be hard to find a new tenant.
Who really gives a shit. Close all these dumps. Start renovations and put some hipster joints please.
