Bloomingdales and other high end stores regularly hire taggers to do window displays. Lots of very successful businesses have graffiti, but you knew that already since this is a trolls paradise. I love how all the people who claim they never go in there because of the graffiti are also experts on who the customers are.

Moishe's was the final connection to my Brooklyn childhood, when similar bakeries like Ebinger's, Butterbun, and Lord's faded away. In a gentrifying Village, Moishe's was almost too good to be true. A recent visit found a new legible "menu" on the wall, replacing the old illegible one, too little too late, I suppose.<br />Biting into one of Moishe's cheese Danishes was like Proust's Madeleine.

I was in there this week, and all the other customers were in their 20s or 30s. This proves that not all young people are as dumb as the ones who post here about only "older" people shopping at bakeries. As for the grafitti it has noting to do with the great baked goods, which are amazing.

I have not seen a new acid tagging in several years. I own a storefront business and I was horrified when these tags started to appear about 7-8 years ago. I saw these tags as far west as the B&N which was on 6th Ave. The suddenly stopped perhaps because this form a vandalism caused more damage than removing paint but costly glass windows had to be replaced making this crime more serious with higher fines and possible jail time. Moishe's tags are circa 2007, they are the only shop that has not replaced their glass after all these years.

As for the carbs, I thought members of Generation Selfie were all eating Nutella and bacon sandwiches with pomme frites and washing it all down with caramel mocha frappucinos, then purging to cut calories.<br /><br />The latest foodie trends seem to have little to do with health and more to do with pricey flavor experiences featuring exotic-sounding ingredients which no one who did not recently attend The New School can either pronounce or understand. <br /><br />If only Moishe's would stop with all the old school kosher baked goods, get with the program and serve desserts like these:<br /><br />Le lait à l’aréole: Lower East Side free-range human breast milk popsicles bathed in a rent-stabilized rooftop party effluvia <br /><br />East Village Goat cheese panna cotta on a toasted Citibike-flavored quinoa pillow, with Master Softee salted-caramel cilantro-shoot confetti <br /><br />East River Park grown zucchini and frozen mung-bean yogurt whoopee pies infused with just-pressed Christadora House olive oil <br /><br />Alphabet City vanilla bean cake brûlée with Miss Lilly's Tompkins Square Park Rumrunner aged Camembert crumbles <br /><br />Giovannihttp://urbanmyths.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-41487427519058380452014-08-30T05:59:42.474-04:002014-08-30T05:59:42.474-04:00Ok Goji, I'm with you on that part.

I don't know how you would "prove" the window hurts sales, but I know it kept me away for a long time. <br /><br />It's also the reason many places have those "floor to ceiling" windows now that someone mentioned they dislike. They make the place look more open and inviting. <br /><br />An "open for business" place wouldn't have graffiti on the window. That's why I asked if it keeps coming back. At some point you'd give up combating it. But what I would do is set up a video surveillance.

As for changing the glass, that would be a monumental expense. Neither the graffiti nor the acid etching affects the quality of their goods; hell, the whole interior of the store is dingy and shabby, but that, for me, is part of the appeal, it's the way so many stores in the city used to be before they all got ripped out and replaced with shiny new upscale gourmet trendy hot fashionable modern cutting edge clean shiny - and oh yeah, interchangeable - chains.

This is not a charity but a for profit business, which according to what I read here is owned by the landlord. When you are selling food you want a to look sanitary, these windows are driving away business. If they wish to get new customers (which all businesses have to do to stay afloat) keep up with the basics in presentation.
