Hopefully they redevelop that crap shortly.

It doesn't matter, perfumes stink anyway. The Italian and French luxury brands stink too, huh.
You probably smell better if you take your everyday shower like any decent individual.

Seriously, that black building itself doesn't look so "crappy". The facade is just overloaded with burgers and comics advertisement, which is not of the best taste either...

Given the surroundings, it is just way too short. They need to build something better and taller right there indeed.

From the Nigerians on 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue (tend's to be more on 6th) Saturday nights. They sell Gucci, Louis Vuitton bags, 100% Kashmir, 100% counterfeit, for a low low price. Perfumes as well (could be watered down, is watered down). Once quarantine is over, they will be out again. Also be sure to swing by Canal Street and pick up a Rolex.

Those street vendors must go. They make the city look like crap.

100%. I wonder why the city allows this... I guess you get what you vote for...

Shady street vendors are everywhere the world over. I saw Africans hawking Prado at the Vatican gate. It's just not that big of a problem for cities to fret that much over, they have bigger fish to fry.

I always thought it added a little charm to be honest. I mean hell, NYC is a city of opportunity, even for the 100% Kashmir fella claiming its 100% Kashmir and than you wear it and it gives you a rash. Street vendors, a partial fraction of energy that is part of the overall street energy equation. Also those steam pipes. Gotta give a shout out to the steam pipes.



The insanity and sometimes borderline disfunction is the bread and butter that makes a good NY experience. Just like the broken escalators in certain stations that are always broken or fixed, and than break a few days later. New Yorkers know what I'm talking about. When its mad crowded, there's a good chance that the damn escalators never work.
