As of yesterday, the NE corner of Broadway & 12th Street is also known as Fred Bass Way. Bass (1928-2018) took over the family business in 1956 and, the following year, moved the Strand Bookstore from 4th Ave to its current location.

A Barnes & Noble is coming to 181 Avenue A, b/t 11th and 12th streets in the East Village, later this year, per the B&N website. The 11,000-square-foot retail space at the base of Steiner East Village has been vacant since residents began moving into the new condo 8 years ago.

Demolition isn’t so clear cut under New York’s Good Cause legislation.

The gray area is one of the few reasons a landlord can evict rent-paying tenants in unregulated apartments under the 2024 tenant protections law.

@sheila_sq @unitof Oh, yes. That carrot dressing. I miss Grassroots, too. Search & Destroy is still on the block... and a great bookstore-café called Village Works is at 12 SMP.

The Sephora sign arrived today at the all-new 1 St. Mark’s Place & 3rd Avenue.

Not too long ago along here, you could get 5 shots of anything for $10 (then $12).
