SoHo Gets Another Designer Store
NYC is really starting to suck! It is bad enough that you can’t walk down Broadway in SoHo, because of the millions of tourists that flock to the strip, that is now nothing more than a Long Island shopping mall, but even the streets off Broadway are being killed by “designer” stores. For years now every damn corporate designer from around the globe has pushed out the small boutique owners and affordable places to eat, with their over priced and gaudy apparel. The “Dirty Deli” aka SoHo Natural, on the corner of Spring and Greene is the latest victim. Sure the places nickname makes it sound less than appetizing, but all the food was always fresh and pretty tasty. Due to no longer being able to afford their lease, the deli will be closing its doors for good, after decades of service to the neighborhood. No longer will we be able to get a drink and some fruit while sitting on the tagged up benches that line the outside wall off the deli, as we take in the sites of NYC. SoHo Natural is the deli on the corner from this office, so I join in the pain of the community as we are displaced from the our morning coffee and mid afternoon snacks. The rumor is that the lease has been given to yet another Italian designer. Just what the neighborhood needs, another place to buy overpriced sunglasses and bags!!
This won’t help me too much, but they do have another location, SoHo Garden Deli at 307 West Broadway (near Canal).
