The much-anticipated opening of Arby’s inside the interior-landmarked space at 372 Fulton Street is scheduled for next Thursday, but we were able to get a look yesterday. Overall, we have to say that the owner and his architects did a really great job at integrating a fast food restaurant into one of the most posh and historic restaurant interiors in the city. We might have gone with some different fabrics on the banquettes, but now we’re just nit-picking.
Minard, what’s upstairs now? The last time I was up on the second floor, it was restaurant dining space for G&T, so you know how long ago that was. Was there office or living space above?
Montrose, I do not believe that there is a provision in the landmarks law that insists on proper upkeep other than perhaps a prohibition of demolition through total neglect.
I accept that this is what it is. Hopefully Arby’s will be more successful than TGIF Fridays, which was the last tenant. A succession of fast food restaurants in this dainty Victorian interior can’t be so great, but the real problem I think is that the rest of the building is totally vacant. Financially only the ground floor is viable. Its not the most reassuring situation. But it is what it is.
Here’s something. I have never eaten at an Arby’s. Not on principle, exactly. Just never happened.
@rob…curtains lol. I don’t like Arby’s but I’m totally going to eat here once.
Hopefully, there are provisions in Arby’s deal with Landmarks that insist on the upkeep of the historical part of the interior, and that they have staff on the lookout for toddlers trying to decorate the walls with soda. Or so-called adults, too, for that matter.
my heart just broke a little 🙁
I agree, mopar. the crowd that eats at fast food joints like this has little regard for their surroundings. Most Mcdonalds and other places are an absolute wreck after a short time.
If you call what Arby’s serves roast beef then you probably buy into all that capitalism nonsense propaganda.
Do you suppose the sheer number of people and the casual nature of a fast-food restaurant will destroy the physical space? A McDonalds is built out of plastic and metal and looks pretty shabby after a short while.
Check out those gasoliers.
