After a four year reprieve, the grim reaper is finally coming for the block of Ninth Avenue between 17th and 18th streets. The street's small businesses, originally set to close after Morris Moinian purchased the building in which they rent back in 2008, will now close on May 31 or shortly thereafter. The building that spans most of the block is now owned by Stonehenge, which plans to "reposition the retail" as part of its upgrade of the building. Bets on what will take the place of the mom-and-pops? [VNY]
