WAIT! Two Boots is gone?! I just went there a few weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteThe boutique owners in the NYP article really are disgusting. They have a sense of entitlement the size of the Empire State building.
ReplyDeleteAt one point I suggested that the Feast should scale back a bit, but now I want it to go on as usual just to aggravate the fools who run those overpriced stores.
And I do find it interesting that no matter when you walk by these places, they're ALWAYS EMPTY. ALWAYS.
How do you pay the rent without any sales ?
@hoolsa - this is the store adjacent to the pizza place where the video store used to be. And where I'm pretty sure I never used up my pre-buys. Dammit.
ReplyDeleteAnd now I whine a little: I was going to post the noise bubbles and you beat me to it. The early bird and that worm thing always getting in my way.
Jill, post the bubbles! there are too many bloggers covering the same stuff, but we all have our own take.
ReplyDeleteThe NYPost article on the Nolita businesses vs. the Feast was bizarre. I would think that in any other circumstance, small business owners setting up shops selling lingerie or $300 dresses knowingly where there is an outdoor festival with fried food would be profiled as a case study in poor business judgement and MBA students would be all over that one. If every fledgling business got the Community Board to intervene in its competition struggles or risks taken, then wouldn't that be intervening in the local free-market economy? It's hardly fair to the majority of small business owners who have to shoulder the consequences of their business decisions on their own.
