Now Closed: 5th Avenue Subway

While everyone’s eyes were on the 7th Avenue franchise location, the 5th Avenue Subway up and closed.

Neighbor Clare L. sent in a pic of the sign that says the “site is immediately available for franchise opportunities,” which recently went up in the window of the sandwich shop location at 423 5th Avenue, on the corner of 8th Street. When we passed by yesterday afternoon, the space was dark and locked up.

Meanwhile, the space housing a Subway at 83 7th Avenue, which opened in 2012 after Leaf and Bean moved to their now-closed Lincoln Place store, went on the market in August, but it remains open.

If you’re worried about the impending loss of so many $5 foot-longs, just remember, there’s one at 258 7th Ave, another at 525 5th Ave, another at 375 Flatbush Ave, and you know, basically everywhere.
