Fortune tellers?
What is going on in there? Hand jobs? Lap dances? There is no way that $5 psychic readings can pay ground-floor, store-front rent.

But why now? Lately, I seem to see a new gypsy storefront every other block in boerum hill, carroll gardens etc. Are they a sign of the economy?
i once made the mistake, maybe 20 years ago of working for a gypsy.. they never pay their bills and stiff the landlord endlessly
I thought the same thing a couple of years ago and after some researches online..what PitbullNYC said is correct. The reading might be only $5 but they will end up persuading you to buy items to cleanse yourself. Items like spirit candles can be $100+.
oh are you kidding me? have u been in one? they say 5 dollar readings but u wind up leaving having bought 200 dollars worth of energy cleansing bath crystals. that’s how they make their money, from saps like me. they are no more shady business people than price jacked ‘organic’ fauxdegas.

I’ve always thought they just scam people out of lots of money, but my husband thinks it’s a front for drugs or money laundering.
Have you tried Craigslist “Rants and Raves”?
