Based on a quick bike-ride past the place, the inside looks nice. Also looked empty last night (I think there was one person at the bar, but it could have been the bartender sitting down)

The restaurant has been renamed Meridian 54 and apparently it looks completely different inside.

I wouldn't worry about it Sam. They will close away in about 6 months. That place never stays open long.

What did they do with the sign?

Not Mark Twain is right.
That place has been the "Coke Can on the Corner" under every revision of the concept. Hopefully it won't be this time...Hopefully
