After a 9-year eviction battle, marshal seizes the Village Scandal on East 7th Street
Village Scandal, the vintage hat shop, is in its 18th year at 19 E. Seventh St. However, for the last nine years, owner Wendy Barrett has been embroiled in an ongoing eviction battle with her landlord. It's a long, complicated story. We covered it here.

Love this place. Just bought a new hat there on Sunday. Go Wendy!
ReplyDeleteIf they kick her out what are they going to put in here? Probably some shit-ass place no one gives a toss about.
I bought a summer had there this summer to support the neighborhood but it was pretty overpriced at $70.
ReplyDeleteThis was a cool store. It had a nice feel to it. As compared with other hat stores nowadays it seemed not over priced. I bought a wonderful distressed leather news boy cap there for $47. And the gals minding the store were always both helpful, non pressuring, and pleasant. I'm gonna miss this one.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good East Village operation.
