Here’s a bit of fun! If you enjoy New York City and you’ve been there a lot, you might enjoy hearing about some new digs. Here is a great list of food spots that you might not already know about:

A few of the hot spots include these great places. They are worth knowing more about and reading about!

Tompkins Square Bagels: Here is what they say about this bagel place. “The bagels are perfectly fluffy, with a nicely finished outside. A notable feature of this spot? They also make their own cream cheese and feature countless flavors including pumpkin for the fall. ”

Bagel Bob

Prince Street Pizza

PN Wood Fired Pizza

Two Hands: Here is what they wrote “Two Hands is the perfect brunch spot. This Australian café has two locations and features a diverse, amazing menu that is perfect for your Instagram, too. Order a big slice of banana bread with a decadent espresso mascarpone on top, then make your own egg plate which features the softest scrambled eggs and sides of your choosing and/or an amazingly crafted smashed avocado toast.”

Here’s a fun one. Birkenstock is opening its first retail store in the U.S. – and we are getting it in SoHo. Many might say – “But everyone buys online these days. Why open a brick and mortar store?”

The answer to this question is quite interesting. More brands have actually been turning to brick and mortar stores lately. The SoHo location for the Birkenstock store is actually their 47th brand-owned store globally. As their CEO Oliver Reichert said recently, “It is an important part of our ambition to open our own retail stores in strategic locations and vibrant neighborhoods.”

Reichert continued by saying that New York is “one of the few remaining fashion capitals in the world that shapes global cultural and consumer trends. Being here will keep our brand vivid and will also create visibility for all the innovations in our collection towards a group of enlightened, highly influential consumers.”

It’s worthwhile to check out the new Amazon store model that has arrived in SoHo. The Amazon 4-star store includes items that are rated 4 star or better on Amazon.

It’s certainly created a buzz in the blogging sphere with everyone weighing in about what they like, and don’t like, about the new customer format.

If you live nearby, it’s worthwhile to pop in and check out this new delivery from Amazon – the storefront! It’s at 72 Spring St.

Enjoy!

If you love Primark, get ready! They are having a ONE DAY Pop-up shop at 138 Wooster Street on September 11th. Yes, the timing seems a bit weird and the length of time does as well, but that’s what we’ve got folks.

You can check out the latest women’s fall and winter selections with prices as low as $10. The shop will only be open from 10am to 1pm, but at least you can get in their and muscle your way into some cute clothes.

Come fast and enjoy!

Were you one of the lucky ones who caught a glimpse of Elle Macpherson recently? She was in SoHo getting ready for the international launch of her wellness business – and it’s starting right by us. She has paired up with Andrea Horwood to bring WelleCo to SoHo and around the US.

As Elle explained,

“Our customers were finding us. And 75 per cent of our US sales go into four cities – New York, LA, Miami and Houston. So we’re going where we’re seeing a need for direct contact with consumers.”

The SoHo store is supposed to open on September 21, and you just might get a glimpse of Elle if you’re around then.
