A rumor is circulating on fb that Gem Spa has closed for good. Not seeing anything about it on the web but I guess they've been struggling for awhile.

Never heard of them, and it does not look delicious to me but since its a hit since the roaring 20's, I am out numbered.....sorry NYers for your loss

They made a decent egg cream and their magazine selection was quite good, though they phased that out a few years ago. More a landmark than anything else.

The combination of troubles started late last spring, when Gem Spa lost their license to sell cigarettes and tobacco products — a large source of revenue. (A now-former employee reportedly sold cigarettes to an undercover minor.) In addition, their lottery license was suspended last spring for an outstanding debt.

Gem Spa also stopped selling newspapers and magazines, a dwindling revenue source and a marked shift in consumer behavior
