1. Unless some celebu-chef is pulling an Eldridge and disguising itself as an old EV staple, Kim's has landed in the former Kurowycky spot, saving us from yet another noisy, bustling upscale eatery, as reported here first:
2. When tailor/cleaner Michael Alter announced he'd be retiring, in part due to rising rents, we assumed that his spot and the vacated Fontana spot would be combined in one big something bad. Mr. Alter has retired, but another tailor/cleaner has taken his place, a friendly Asian woman who promises to "keep the same low prices." Miracles do happen:
If you missed the punk panel at Howl, now you can watch it here. [Stupefaction]
Keep waving bye-bye to the Bowery because here goes another chunk--and here comes another big shiny box. [Curbed]
Do some shopping at Sahadi's with BaHa. [SE]
Very nice. We need some good news.
ReplyDeletedid you ask the nice woman at the cleaners how long her lease was for? I do wonder whether she is just taking over the space for a short period or is going to be able to be there for the long haul.
ReplyDeletei didn't ask her, but she's doing a fair bit of renovation, with new walls and floors, so it seems to be for a long haul. she's also put in a computer system to increase efficiency.
ReplyDeleteI hope she won't 'flip' that space.
ReplyDeleteYay I'm so happy Kim's is coming back to the 'hood. I hope it's true.
ReplyDeleteI am curious, how does this asian woman pay the new rent?
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it's going to be the original Kim's? Isn't Kim's Video kind of like Ray's Pizza, in the sense that the name has proliferated everywhere, and it's hard to know which is the authentic one? I hope this one is, although any Kim's beats another Starbuck's.
