At Joon Westside Fish Market on 98th and Amsterdam, even the kitchen sink itself is gone now, and that’s just a little too perfect(ly depressing).
A Kosher Japanese restaurant is replacing Joon.
Thanks to Naomi for the photo.

Fairly common sight.
Depending upon terms of lease anything affixed to walls, floors, or ceilings of a commercial space often becomes property of landlord. This or whoever is vacating space either sells fixtures or arranges for their disposal.
Passed a recently closed dry cleaners on UES a few years ago and they had placed a commercial sewing machine on curb with a sign “working, please take”.
So sad to see Joon leaving. For commentary, Joon sold Pompano for $6.99 lb. Citarella, the nearest source, sells Pompano for $23.95 per pound. (Nuff said?)
How dare those real estate owners try to make money!
