Rent Rhetoric at Chickie Pig’s
The “for rent” rhetoric is heating up at 121 Ludlow, former home of Chickie Pig’s. Gone are the musty red curtains, instead replaced with rental notices and an unobstructed view of the stripped-down interior. Two such signs taped in the windows advertise a “fully built restaurant,” while a more generic third resides behind the glass.
Considering the brick oven appears intact, our best guess is another pizzeria or Italian spot.
