joe jrs on 6th ave has lost its lease!! we have to save it!!

:

i just walked by joe jrs on my way home, and there's a new sign in the window that says they've lost their lease, and their last day in business is sunday, july 5. this is a travesty!! this is a neighborhood institution! everything is vanishing before our eyes. how do we -- concerned citizens, regulars, and people who want new york to be something other than hipster cafes, sleek new restaurants and empty storefronts -- help save the real establishments that make new york new york? does anyone know who the landlord is, or how similar situations have been challenged by neighbors and the broader public? time is running out...we have to do something!
