If you love Arizona Iced Tea then you probably loved this celebration. They celebrated their 25th birthday with a 99-cent pop-up shop in Soho last week. The 99 cent special took place from May 16 to 21 at 43 Crosby Street and there was themed merchandise. Even tattoo artists JonBoy and Rob Green were on hand with free ink in many designs that were customized just for the event.
Here is some exciting news. Trader Joe’s has arrived to Soho as of May 18 at 233 Spring Street.
In another piece of exciting news, Gucci has a new SoHo store. Interestingly, understanding that this generation does the vast majority of their shopping online, Gucci is working to combat this with their new store. As their chief executive Marco Bizzarri explained, he thinks that shoppers are bored by typical stores and boring websites. The new store at 62 Wooster Street is their attempt to spice things up. As he said, “The younger generation [isn’t] interested in the retail experience because the retail experience is not interesting.”
Vegan cuisine is becoming more and more popular and it’s no surprise that SoHo is getting its own share of these locations. Here are two new spots that were recently covered in the news and that certainly sound worth trying. Check out the full review of these locations, and of a few more they suggested.
Mike & Dave’s is offering juice, smoothies and “nicecream” which is non-dairy soft serve ice cream. It’s at 120 Macdougal Street in the Village.
Sol Sips is at 203 Wilson Avenue that has the goal of making plant-based food more accessible to everyone.
We say YUM!
