Tipster Chris writes in with the latest shuttering at 79th and 3rd.
"The venerable Butcher Leonard's (3rd bet 78/79) is on the outs too. When picking up lamb on Saturday for an Easter dinner, the gent told me they were definitely closing, don't know where they will be going, but insists they will re-open, letting house account holders know by mail/phone, and posting a sign in the window as soon as they know the new location."First Rosedale Fishmarket, next the liquor store on the SE corner of 79th and Lex, now Leonards. I guess we can hope for another Chase or Duane Reade."
More to come.

Demo Set For 79th & 3rd [78thand2nd]
As discussed many times here...they are taking those buildings down - why is anyone shocked that this store is closing?
I think the real question is how they have managed to stay open so long? I just assumed they had a lease that ran longer than the rest.
News flash - pretty sure the thrift shop is going to close as well!
