StreetLevel: Court Street Biz Hops to 5th Ave.

While this store doesn't really interest me at all, there are plenty of great things on 5th I love and plenty more spaces for new things.

In fact, there are three storefronts on the same block as the GetFresh place you highlighted a week or so ago all undergoing renovation right now. Maybe you'll want to do a little research and let us know what's coming...they are all on 5th between 6th and 5th Streets:

1) the former Nail Shop next to Bar Reis
2) the former Carpet store
3) the former Skye Realty office

Teddy on Court St is a nice shop but overpriced.

Then it will fit right in on 5th.

@ 2:47:

1) New Nail Shop / Spa
2) New Rug store
3) New Realty office

I am really glad that the nail shop, the rug store, and the realty office will move out. I own a building on 5th between 5th and 6th and those store fronts are a bit of an eyesore.

However, the biggest eyesore in the area is finally gone. That would be the B&G air conditioning and refrigeration buisness that is now GetFresh. They used to have the old used refrigerators lined up in front of the store front.

This is all great news. I just wonder how much they are paying for rent. The lease on my commercial space is almost up.

so do you have any news on what else is coming in on your block?

Posted by: guest at November 7, 2007 8:44 PM

The biggest eyesore is the old guy with garbage chained to his storefront next to Chip Shop. And the abandoned building a couple more doors down.

Posted by: guest at November 7, 2007 8:48 PM

I thought those places were long gone. You said you are glad they WILL move out.

Have you not been there recenly?

They are already being renovated. They are gone.

Something sounds fishy.

I heard the B&G will re-open under new management, and the sidewalk will be lined with Subzeros.

8:49 - I show up around twice a month...and I don't walk around to see what is being done. The only store front that I knew was being renovated is the nail shop. I had no idea about the real estate office or the carpet place until i read this post.

8:48 - you are right. that is the biggest eyesore. however, its not on my street. my building is between 5th and 6th.

8:50 - B&G did re-open. They are on corner of 4th avenue and 6st (although im not sure about the street)now. I still use their service when a fridge needs to be repaired or replaced. They provide a great service...i just did not like their buisness on my block.

B&G is at 4th and 7th, which is my block. :)

Forget Teddy. What happened to JFK Fried Chicken? They're shuttered! Woe!

Posted by: guest at November 7, 2007 9:33 PM

I actually like that guy selling the trash he finds in front of the messed up building on 5th Ave next to the Chip Shop. It never fails to make me laugh to see what prices he's trying to get for stuff that's been abandoned, that he keeps it chained up. I realize it's not a fancy boutique or expensive foodie shop, but it lends some character to the strip in my opinion. He doesn't hassle anyone.

I am opposed to Cobble Hill businesses opening in Park Slope, and Park Slope businesses opening in Cobble Hill. I guess it's not as bad as national chains, but it's boring all the same. Soon there will be no difference between Smith St and 5th Ave.
