Do not be alarmed: Fab 208 space for rent

Prepare yourself for walking by Fab 208 on Seventh Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue... (Maybe East Village vintage stores are doomed?)



As Racked noted last week, the store, which has been on the block for 18 years, is moving to the former (and smaller) Howdy Do space across the street...(We imagine they'll fare much better than the post-Howdy Do tenant .)

Anyway, you guessed it: Rent hike. Per Racked: "So don't be spooked if you see a 'for rent' sign in the window — they are moving, but they're not going far." And this is the first that I noticed the sign...

Meanwhile, we're curious what new business will come calling here at Fab 208...

    they've been making the same exact clothing for years. also they are (ex?) skinheads. he kept asking my friend who worked there if I was jewish? And she said "I don't think so..." and he responded, "yes she is, i can tell." (I'm not the slightest bit jewish.)

    I loved this store and it was a regular stop on my annual holiday gift shopping route.
