Pink Pony Packs it Up

Here are some images to ruin your Wednesday morning. Pink Pony packin’ up the gear after more than a decade at 176 Ludlow Street. The shutters were hoisted a third of the way, revealing a haphazard interior of random boxes and fixtures.

Pink Pony shuttered earlier this month thanks to gentrification and the resultant $14,000 increase in rent. Owner Lucien Bahaj was quoted as saying, “The main reason for all of this is not the health, and not the business going down; it’s that the neighborhood has changed.”

This one still hurts, alas.
