Streetlevel: Lincoln Road Nail Salon Shuts Down

The nail salon on Lincoln Road in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, where manis and pedis could be had for a mere $15 (the trick is to ask for three coats), closed down two weeks ago. A note was attached to the door announcing the closure “because of a change in lease” and thanking customers for years of support. The buzz at neighborhood wi-fi cafe K-Dog & Dunebuggy is that a restaurant might go in its place. There’s been a number of changes at this strip of stores. K-dogs just started serving alcohol and extended its evening hours. Papa & Sons started serving smoothies and fresh made food, and now stays open 24 hours. And then of course there’s that huge glass tower going up next door, which we reported could serve as expansion space for the Maple Street School if built as planned. Tons of nail salons are nearby on Flatbush Avenue, but without an appointment they all have 40 minute waits on a weekend. But no use crying over spilled rubbing alcohol. What would you like to see move in?
PLG’s Maple Street School in Talks With Glassy Tower [Brownstoner]
Sarah, Indian’s my favorite and I also really enjoy Thai food. I haven’t been to Enduro, but wouldn’t it be great for you to be able to bump into four people you know every time you go? I love love love your writing style too.
By the way, you’re not the woman in the green t-shirt in the picture by chance, are you? I would hate for us to have gotten off on the wrong foot.
2:37 Actually there are tons of nail salons right around the corner, but this one is the personal favorite of most people I know here for super cheap manicures and pedicures. It’s less cramped, they rarely mess up, and it’s actually a few dollars cheaper than the other local places. So a tear falls for this business.
But, looking toward the future, I would love love love a Thai or Indian place because it now takes 45 minutes for delivery. In the meantime, PLG people: try Mango Thai (www.mangothai.com) or Indian Place on Vanderbilt. Both are excellent. Another bar would be cool, but I’m totally happy going to Enduro. I know a lot of the staff well and I always bump into like three people I know every time I go. Always a nice time there!
3:36, I think you have a strong case in a lawsuit against your Ophthalmologist.
I’d like to move in with the woman in the green shirt.
2:52- Really? You’re going to pull out the ghetto/hood card?
It’s new Restaurant Row in the making!
2:37 has a hard time finding a tourist in Times Square.
Something is wrong with the picture above. I thought PLG was in the hood/ghetto, was this picture taken in the 1950s? Where are the Ghetto people, were they moved to E. New York?
As a new resident to the neighborhood, I hope a restaurant or cool bar moves into the space!
