Speaking of 13th Street

I had no idea that Crunch closed this location between University and Broadway. I was told it happened in early March.

Bowery Boogie said...: there's also a crunch down on Lafayette near 4th street. guess they're consolidating with no money around.; April 28, 2009 9:09 AM

I'm worried a little bit about Jeniette, the spa/salon a few doors down from this closed Crunch. Jeniette (named for its lovely owner, who is still there almost every day) is a wonderful, friendly and unpretentious place that has been there since 1984. There's been a bit of a downturn in customers because of the recession, but is a great neighborhood salon, so I hope they will be able to ride the tough times out.; April 28, 2009 10:47 PM
