A pizzeria, which decamped to new digs a block south, was the immediate past occupant of these premises. Like many tourist-oriented New York pizzerias, its menu also embraces wings, burgers, wraps, and the like.
These recently uncovered painted wood panels, however, seem to be holdovers from some older business. Look close and you might make out fish fillets, fried chicken, pancakes, and a ladder-back armchair.
