184 Bleecker Becoming a Bank?

Qdoba Bleecker

After Qdoba seized half of the former Cafe Le Figaro at 184 Bleecker Street, the other half remained dormant behind snowy glass. As of last week, though, a new sidewalk shed was installed at the site. Our initial thought was a possible expansion, so we called up the fast food joint for some details. A friendly employee informed us that the property will reportedly become a bank in due course.

    That Cafe LeFigaro was one of my top 5 most horrid NY cafe/dining experiences, in my 20 years as a NYer. I was surprised to see their new location - I hope they also improved their service and food, at least. I will take a bank over that dump any day.
