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.

fsrg, it doesn’t matter in the least but you don’t know what you’re talking about. First hand information is not urban legendry.
Come on Roll & Roaster! What a missed opportunity!
Montrose, there’s a Taco Bell at Livingston and Bond, but it’s combined with a Nathan’s and Pizza Hut and such.
MAT – its urban legend and no I dont work for Arby’s or its PR Firm…in fact I predict that Arbys will be a FAILURE – if only because it is obvious to anyone with a brain that opening in an interior landmarked building is adding ridiculous and unnecessary complexity and expense for a fast food joint. Their site people are clearly morons – its not like there are not other nearby retail spaces available.
Know what would be great? An In-and-Out Burger. I know they’re only West Coast but that is some fine fast food there, and a company you can feel good about. Make mine animal style. Yum.
We need a Cracker Barrel in NYC stat.
GROSS!
And Red Lobster puts that fake popcorn butter all over everything. It’s really gross. I have a feeling their cheesy biscuits break the NYC law against trans fat. Everything they serve is whipped up in a giant vat somewhere in Ohio, frozen, and reheated in a microwave. I doubt they have a special vat just for the New York market.
Coke/Pepsi tastes like lemon battery acid.
