The Velvet Cigar Lounge at 80 E. Seventh St. lost its lease after seven years on the block. The shop closed here on Aug. 11.

They hope to relocate to 13 E. Seventh St., next to McSorley's, and are wrapping up a crowdsourcing campaign to help make the move happen.



Part of this space was home to D.L. Cerney for many years. The boutique closed last fall after 28 years on the block, per Jeremiah's Vanishing New York.
