It also helped when my friends over at Grand-Army, a creative agency, expressed […]
While it might be snowing outside – the spring equinox will hopefully bring warmer weather! Today, while its not directly in SoHo, I hosted the first of many events in my residential listings.

I think the Community Board, SoHo Broadway BID and local organizations should all come together and all landlords should be […]
I received a tip from a reader (Thanks Kirsty!) that both Aliotta’s Pizza and J.N. Natural Fruits are closed: While I rarely stopped into Aliotta’s, J.N. Natural Fruits was my one stop shop for Tate’s cookies and ice cream (they have by far the best freezers in the area). J.N. Natural Fruits always had “that […]
While most productions prefer to be “On Broadway”, in SoHo, its a mark of accomplishment to go “Off Broadway”. Broadway represents many of the big box retailers like Banana Republic, Zara, H&M, Sephora, and other brands you find in every mall across the country. Off-Broadway, you find smaller boutiques that are destination spots. lululemon decided […]

Their store is located at 38 Greene Street (at Grand) and has lots of celebrity clients (unfortunately, I can’t write who since I promised!)

The NY Post reported in January 2015 that C. Wonder, located at 72 Spring Street (between Crosby and Lafayette) was closing. The retailer was originally started buy Chris Burch, Tori Burch’s ex-husband, and sells clothing and accessories at lower price-points than the ‘Tori Burch label’.
