Goodbye Plexiglass!

Ruben Liquor Store has been in the neighborhood, on Court street and the corner of Baltic, for 34 years. They had some problems back in the seventies which made them put up plexiglass to protect themselves and their merchandise. Much like New York itself, the area has changed drastically since then and Ruben is now ready to change as well. The store, although some plexiglass is still up between 9pm and midnight, is undergoing renovations and customers will be able to walk around freely and browse the liquor and wine selections. Although the regulars weren't dissuadeed by the glass the owners are hoping this will attract new customers with a more welcoming atmosphere. They will be opening back up in August so if you've been in there before and were put off by not being able to browse for yourself go check out their new look!
