Yup, a lot of stores seem to be closing on Fifth Avenue. But looking on the bright side, there are a lot of new stores and restaurants, too.
Over on the Brownstoner comments board, a frequent commenter named Quest made a list of 13 establishments that have opened on Fifth Avenue in the last year.
In the past 12 months the following have opened on 5th avenue (or are about to open)…I consider this list an improvment over those places which have closed:
1. Flight001
2. Teddy
3. Maria’s Restaurant
4. Oko
5. Soula Shoes
6. GetFreshNYC
7. Brooklyn Bakery and Cafe
8. Fatoosh
9. FIT gym
10. Canaille French Bistro
11. A.O.C. Bistro
12. Earth Tonez Vegetarian Cafe
13. ‘Snice
