Get muscles and a new parking space, and say goodbye to a Kosher burger joint.
Muscle Maker Grill is opening at 2735 Broadway near 105th street, the former home of Amla Indian restaurant. Muscle Maker Grill is a nationwide chain that serves healthy salads, wraps, soups and sandwiches. Thanks to R. Schmunk for the tip.
Little Man Parking has opened in the former home of a Hertz garage on 95th between Amsterdam and Broadway. Aaron Biller, who sent the photo writes that this “ends speculation about it becoming a condo.”
Gotham Burger at 726 Amsterdam Avenue near 96th street will close on Sunday. An employee told us “it’s a long story.” There’s another Gotham Burger in Teaneck, NJ. Thanks to Deborah for the tip.
Margot Patisserie has opened in the former home of Green Cafe on Broadway between 97th and 98th. Thanks to Eric Matisoff for the photo.
An Urgent Care location is indeed opening inside the Ariel East on Broadway between 99th and 100th street, as we reported last month. Thanks to Sasha Charnin Morrison for the photo.
That’s strange news with regard to Little Man Parking. Didn’t the developers who bought the Camden Hotel next door also buy this property? The assumption was that they would build condos on the combined lots.
Probably a short term lease for the space to generate enough money to pay taxes until the owners figure out what they want to do with the parcel, especially since money is slightly tightening up for residential construction.
There is plenty of money in daily and month to month parking.
Oh yeah! Another urgent care center, just blocks form the new one. I guess people in the neighborhood are just really clumsy
I love that urgent care is so easy to find, but geez, they are becoming as prolific as Starbucks on the UWS!
Am I correct that this makes 3 urgent care offices in 3 blocks?
Urgent Care seems to be the new back rub parlors of 10 years ago. The end of those involved some unpleasant accounting practices. As in, federal-level unpleasant.
Wow, are we lucky to have Margot Patisserie open on Broadway between 97th & 98th. It’s the same owners as the one on West 74th and one of my favorite places for coffee and pastry. What good news for our neighborhood!
Hmmm…I’m not sure why everyone complains about these urgent care places. I get why everyone hates the banks, drug stores and various national chains, etc. But why the urgent care places?
Have you people ever been to an emergency room?? Literally like a level of Dante’s Inferno. Nightmarish would be an understatment.
I just figured a bunch of whiny and overly sensitive hypocondriacs like most of you would love having these places around. Also, lots of elderly people and kids in this neighborhood so I can see the demand there. Please explain.
Also, full disclosure, I had to go to one of these places a few weeks ago and it was great. Friendly, only a 15 min wait, nice doctor, etc. I’m not going to say why I was there but lets just say it was getting close to 4hr and i had to seek medical attention…!:) and they let me bring my dog too, hooked him up to the EKG and everything…
Totally agree. I have had nothing but good experiences in the urgent care locations. Insurance companies love them because they’re much cheaper than emergency rooms. And they seem to be putting pressure on other healthcare providers to up their service game.
And if you get hurt on a weekend, it’s usually the emergency room or suck it up until Monday to see a doctor, and a non-serious injury will guarantee several hours sitting around the emergency room triage watching a tube television from the ’80s.
The fact that so many urgent care centers are opening must mean the demand is there. After all, not everyone eats salad or froyo, but everyone needs medical help.
I went into my local urgent care center recently with a dog bite. Nothing serious, a lot of blood, no stitches needed. They wouldn’t treat me. Sent me to the ER ($1400). What DO they treat?
Mark Monkstein, I’ll chime in. My dislike for these Urgent Care centers is that they contribute to a boring and utilitarian streetscape. I would prefer restaurants and bars to liven up our corridor. I know that’s a fantasy, because this area can’t seem to sustain decent night life and is not a draw for young people. That said, I have begrudgingly used the one on B’way & 89th Street couple of times. Why begrudgingly? Because it replaced a great restaurant space!
These Kosher joints just don’t stay around too long- only so much business can be had with limited hours and higher priced items .
Next!
Well, Paul, I have news for you. There is a vast universe out there and it DOESN’T revolve around you. Wow, if I didn’t know better I would think you were one of these self-absorbed narcissistic Millennials.
Awwww, did everyone hear? Paul isn’t being stimulated by the streetscape….how am I going to sleep tonight?? hahahha
You might want to move downtown or to Williamsburg since you want to hang out with kids in dynamic bars and cool restaurants all night. Give us a break.
Jerz, Mark, relax. You asked a question and I answered. But perhaps we do need an Urgent Anger Management Center for you.
There are a lot of urgent care centers these days.
I know that some seem to be affiliated with hospitals but not all.
Puzzled about who is staffing them?
Groups of doctors each working part-time?
Are these second jobs for doctors?
“Monk Monkstein”, you’re gross.
Katherine Bouton, your question might have been rhetorical but I’ll answer it anyway. I’ve been to an Urgent Care about three times. I can’t remember what brought me there the first time, but the second time was for severe back pain and the third was because I got a cotton swab stuck in my ear. They treated me. It cost a lot, but they treated me.
Thanks Sasha. I thought you only gave info on shoe stores
I agree with Paulrl they are a new kind of blight and contribute little. They can be found up and down Broadway next to the DRs banks, and I like sbx!
Monk, they hooked your dog up to an EKG?! A human-sized one or little doggie-sized one?
