Uniformed employees hanging around outside; baking racks more than mostly empty of sugary pastries; movers with boxes in transit: the scene in ABP this afternoon is somber. According to two ABP employees, the York St. marketplace and popular student meeting spot will very soon be shutting its doors for good….like VERY soon.

If the golden rule of real estate is “location, location, location” ABP can credit at least some of its success to its proximity to campus. On the corner of York and Broadway, its closing will create a vacancy in what is quite possibly Yale’s best piece of real estate and a void of cheap coffee and sandwiches.

What will take its place?
