  3. Agreed with 6:48 Anon. EVG, ice cream or coffee - that's some steep rent.

  5. Actually, your source wasn't too far off. Despite the name, it looks like they already have one location on 6th Avenue in the 20s, where they do indeed sell ice cream or frozen yogurt or ice milk or whatever that junk is.
