The End of an Era!


1934 - 2010
R.I.P.
Even though Coney Island’s West 12th Street is named Ruby Jacobs Way, the long-endangered dive and beach-grub spot that bears his name will finally have to close after 76 years in business later this month to make room for a sit-down restaurant with an ocean view, open 365 days a year, able to serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  There will also be a very large sports bar.

Oh, and by the way, the wooden planks of the famous Coney Island Boardwalk are also scheduled to  disappear as they are ripped out and replaced with concrete.
