Last week I walked past the Rizzoli bookstore in Milan, which is located in the Grand Galerie next to Duomo Cathedral. Customers have been walking in and out of that address since 1927 and all they sell are books. The same went for the Rizzoli in New York, until the owners of the building on 57th Street announced that the Manhattan landmark was closing for good and will probably end up as condos for the rich, despite Vornado Realty Trust telling the media that they had no intentions of tearing down the building.
New York is also losing Shakespeare & Company, a bookstore on Lower Broadway.
Its monthly rent was going up to $50,000.
Pearl Paint’s building on Canal Street is joining the ranks of the closed.
This city and especially Manhattan is coming to a point where it's only for the rich.
And they don't deserve it.
Good-bye the piers.
Good-bye Pussycat Lounge.
Good-bye Victory Theater.
They aren't ever coming back
