The E Smoke Shop is cooking now!

[Feb. 15]

The rest of the signage for the all-new E Smoke Shop on the corner of Third Avenue and St. Mark's Place went up yesterday… The transformation of the former New Corner Magazine (or King's Magazine) is, apparently, complete…



Wait till you see it at night!

The plywood came off today at the former New Corner Magazine (or King's Magazine) on St. Mark's Place at Third Avenue.

The landlord told us that the space will remain a newsstand, though there will be "an upgrade in the operator and the space."

The space will have a more appealing look for the nerds employees of the new IBM business across the street at the IBM Watson building.

And the space will no longer have a little kiosk on Third Avenue… where DJ Lenny M held forth for so many years…

A reader tells us that the newsstand is now open... though it is not yet fully stocked.

New Corner Magazine closed for renovations; new operator to take over

New Corner Magazine (or King's Magazine), the longtime newsstand on St. Mark's Place at Third Avenue, is currently closed for renovations.



Said a distraught resident yesterday: "Workers are tearing the place apart; the guts are on the sidewalk."

We checked in with the building's landlord, who said that the space will remain a newsstand, though there will be "an upgrade in the operator and the space."

We always rather liked the old space…
