Streetlevel: Salon for South Slope
430 7th Avenue, formerly home to Bird’s South Slope boutique, will house a nail salon and spa, according to the sign in the window. Bird, meanwhile, moved to a busier spot on 316 5th Avenue between 2nd and 3rd Streets, not to mention opening the new Grand Street shop any day. GMAP

I find it insane that so many nail/hair salons can stay open. Theres about 10 on the length of Flatbush from GAP to Atlantic center. I cant think of anything I really need around here tho so I cant complain. Maybe a guitar store other than guitar center.
why? they are spelling Bouquet, not boutique. they spelled it right.

I hope some spelling lessons are in store for the new owner.
Red Hot II is a pale imitation of the original Red Hot. They have pretty much the same printed menu, but the original restaurant’s food was much, much better, especially the vegetarian entrees.
the interesting thing is the number of HUGE megastores that are shuttered in soho these days. there’s at least 3-4 big ones in the last couple of months in the immediate area i work in. i’d imagine the rents being charged in these huge 10,000-20k square feet stores tho are ridiculous anyway. im glad brooklyn seems to maybe be faring better.

I’m glad to hear it’s happening all over Brooklyn.
Interesting, same is happening in my hood, of Bay Ridge too. Stores that were vacant since I moved here three years ago are being filled. Thank goodness we’re not gettng another nail salon, but an organic cheese shop and a Bikrahm yoga studio to name a few.
I think owner’s of these spaces had no choice but to cave and lower rent. Hell these places probably could have been collecting rent but stood vacant for so long until now because of the hight cost. I wonder what finally made them see the light.
Rob…most of the good stuff for our demographic is down on 5th Avenue! You ARE in the right hood though!
And btw, Barrio is really excellent. The new Vietnamese place should be great, and I hear terrific things about Red Hot (Chinese).
I also happen to really like Yogo Monster. 10 times better than Pinkberry.
And yes, my comment was more a testament to the occupied storefronts, than what they are actually filled with. It’s a sign of a very healthy and thriving neighborhood.
i think im in the wrong neighborhood. none of those appeal to my demographic at all 🙁 mmm maybe beauty essentials but since i dont use products anyway i guess not specifically to me. but definitely better to have occupied store fronts then shuttered ones.
