Not too long ago Brownstoner reported on a rumor that a fast food restaurant was looking to set up shop at the former Gage & Tollner space at 374 Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn, where the likes of Mae West dined back in the day. The Daily News has now discovered it will be home to the roast beef sandwich slingers of Arby's. The Landmarks Preservation Commission did say there would be a meeting addressing the proposed alterations to the historic interior, but insisted the gas lamps and wall-length mirrors would remain. However, the franchisee Raymond Chera told the News: “We’re keeping everything in place, and anything we move in will be nonpermanent and easy to move out. It will probably be the most beautiful Arby’s ever.” But will it be prettier than the T.G.I.Friday's that was there before it? Meanwhile, over in Queens things at Arby's are looking quite a bit different.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Nice...but it's got nothing on a McDonald's in the Biltmore Village in Asheville, North Carolina...this place actually has a Grand Piano in McDonald's...

Top that Arby's! :)
I think there is a McDonalds near the WTC that has a baby grand piano.
160 Broadway.
That McDonalds looks pretty ugly even with the grand piano.
Heh, I'm from Asheville actually. That McDonald's while pretty still has the same cheap tables used in all of them and the building isn't old. Biltmore village, the part of Asheville near Biltmore Estate, has very stringent codes for building that require businesses to look a certain way. The only way McDonald's was allowed in was to build like that. There is Starbucks built in a similar manner about two blocks away. I guess fast food will always find a way in.
As far as fast food goes, Arby's doesn't suck too badly.
...
Isn't there also a grand piano in the McDs on lower Broadway?

You're kidding, right? It's like Consumer Reports wrote decades ago, that gray stuff is barely recognizable as beef, never mind roast beef. I'd much rather have a Wendy's hamburger than an Arby's sandwich.
Remember when they used actual roast beef that turned on a spit and was sliced up by the workers? Well, 40 years and untold severed fingers later, they use pre-processed "roast beef" that tastes like Carl Buddig and has a slippery texture. Utter rubbish and an insult to the company's roots.
i'm so hungry i could at arbys
oh man curly fries
And horsey sauce! I'm excited.
Call me crazy, but the Raymond Chera who comes up with a google search has a Facebook Page stating that he's a senior at Bay Ridge Prep. Could this be the most awesome teen fantasy Arby's ever?
LOL... enjoy the food and the arctic blasts from the lack of heating and insulation. I ate there once at the former TGIF's to get a gander at the inside of what used to be Gage and Tollner. It was so cold and drafty everyone was shivering and putting their coats on.
BTW, anyone remember Beefsteak Charlie's? If it was still around, this would be the perfect locale.
Ooooh, Arby's apple turnovers are amazing!
