The old Astor
Astor Wine and Spirits, a Greenwich Village New York institution is no longer on Astor Place. After 40 years on the corner of Astor and Lafayette, a case of greedy landlord raised the rent too high for the wine store. CVS will soon occupy the space.
But Astor lives! They have moved down the block to Lafayette and 4th and will retain the name Astor Wines. The old space was admittedly looking a little dingy but it had huge storage capacity in the basement. The swanky new space has 50 percent more floor space but less storage space. More to follow on the new space tomorrow…

C/mon, Tyler. New York needs another CVS.
I am looking forward to the new store–hope to get in this weekend. But if it’s anything like the long lines outside Trader Joe’s, I guess I’ll wait.

Hi Tyler,
I was in Astor last Friday and was a bit worried that they were going out of business – little did I know they were expanding. Looking forward to reading your report!

Apologize for my noobie question. Could you let me know what this blog template is? I really love it. Or is it custom one, maybe? I believe it can be a decent solution for adsense too. I’d love it if you can tell me about this. Thanks.
