The truth about Snack Dragon

Eater has it half right: the amazing, wonderful, fabulous, incredible, delicious Snack Dragon Taco Shack on Avenue B and 3rd Street is no longer. The Taco Shack is dead; long live the Taco Shack!

For yes, the Snack Dragon Taco Shack has been reborn, sexier than ever, in... wait for it... Coney Island!

And there are plans afoot to relocate the Avenue B Shack, possibly as nearby as across the street.

Why did the old Shack close? Yes, it did get some grief from the city, but that was being worked out. The real reason is that the owner of the building decided she didn't want it there, and threatened to close down Ben's Deli if he didn't evict the Shack from the premises. It's all very sad.
