A thread on Brooklynian is atwitter with news that 7th Avenue housewares store Nest has flown the coop. The shop, between 12th and 13th streets, shuttered earlier this month. One Brooklynian commenter notes that the store “was one of the first places to grace the barren south slope strip,” while a few others contend that its goods were overpriced (“I’m sure they’ll find a nice new home in Soho”). Think the closure’s indicative of a tough retail environment in the South Slope in general?
