That's too bad. I always counted on Exit 9 as a great place to find last-minute gifts. I hope they find another space in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteGreat store, wonderful people, nice neighbors. They still have a location in Brooklyn, I wish them well. Sad to see them go.
ReplyDeleteA favorite shop of mine. I hope they stay in the hood.
ReplyDeleteLovely neighbors, sweet store (their Japanese tabi and kooky print knee socks were my go-to gifts!) and they donated gift certs to the local public schools' auctions. I too hope they stay in the nabe, tho I'll visit the other location when I'm in Cobble Hill.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I buy a lot of gifts there. I'm glad they're expanding enough to need a bigger space, but this is worrisome...Mod World was supposed to re-open on the internet and they never did.
ReplyDeletetoo bad. they were great for the last-minute gift, Hannukah and whatnot. and the proprietor was a great aficionado of unique eyeglasses.
ReplyDeletewow, i hope the put a bar in there. there's no bars on that block.
ReplyDeleteit's o.k. exit nine is leaving. too expensive. most often purchase potential was a thrill gift wanted as a request from our little one's having viewed it in the window. Tho, what comes next might offer more enticements. and more expensive. Not a neighborhood for families.
ReplyDeletetho is manhattan a place for mom's with out dad's called families? What is going on?????
Loved that place, staff very helpful and funny. And, yes, like everyone else, when I'd forgotten a birthday, I ran over there.
ReplyDeleteCool place. I heard that they were moving across the street into one of the empty retail spots in the Ageloff Towers.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: I have no idea what you are talking about, except that maybe you have a problem with single mothers.
