Looks like we were right: A fast food restaurant is indeed trying to take over the former Gage & Tollner space at 374 Fulton Street on the Fulton Mall in Downtown Brooklyn. The Daily News today reports that the chain known for its roast beef sandwiches submitted an application to the Landmarks Preservation Commission in January to modify the historic interior. We’re keeping everything in place, and anything we move in will be nonpermanent and easy to move out, said Raymond Chera, the franchisee behind the project. It will probably be the most beautiful Arby’s ever. And you better get used to the idea of being surrounded by Arby’s: Chera says he plans to open 41 locations around the city over the next decade.

“root beer tastes like germolene”
I don’t know what germolene tastes like, but if the answer is “crap,” the yes, I agree.
Mopar, there was an A&W Rootbeer-Hot Dog joint in Newark airport as of Summer ’06.
Isn’t there still a Taco Bell at the entrance to the Fulton Mall near Flatbush and Fulton? Or Nevins and Flatbush, somewhere over there?
The most infamous TB was on Sixth Ave near West 4th Street in the Village. That was the one with the Ratticus 500 going on at night. I’m embarassed to say I ate there once, long before that filmed event.
I remember having a friend who worked at taco bell in high school. He said that the ground beef started in a powder form and they would mix it with boiling water and it would magically turn into beef.

This is reminding me how much I love A&W. Did anyone ever go there?
I thought they were long defunct but I stumbled across one in the Raleigh-Durham airport recently and the bacon double cheeseburger and the root beer tasted exactly the same as it did when I was 10. It’s really good.
For some reason they never have the ice cream at that location though. Too bad because their soft serve is real milk. Or at least used to be.
FSRQ – please elaborate on your visit to Per Se, I have a rez in a few weeks and I’m really looking forward to it.
He also used in the Montague Street thread.
I’m guessing he had to lay off his writers.
Brother, can you spare a line?
You said that yesterday on the Real Estate office closing in PS yesterday, Xander.
Got nothing else?
