I'm concerned what this NYU Bookstore will mean for Shakespeare & Co. just down the road

For the record, let’s not forget Unique Clothing Warehouse that used to fill that whole space the WIZ eventually took over. For you young folks, imagine Beacon’s Closet in the 1980s but waaay bigger.

I'd worry about Shakespeare & Co. surviving simply because that whole strip of Broadway is just dorm-rat city. Not erudite Village students of the past.
