A good sign for the Royal Tailor Shop on East 11th Street

Last we heard, Gino DiGirolamo had planned to move his Royal Tailor Shop from East 14th Street to 434 E. 11th St., though he hadn't actually signed the lease just yet.

However, things must now be in order for the new shop here between Avenue A and First Avenue: Gino's sign arrived on the scene yesterday.

Gino has been working as a tailor the past 50 years. It looked like a rent hike at his previous space would force him into retirement. Thankfully, with some help, he was able to secure this new location.

    Were happy to see one of our neighbors stay around the East Village!

    Funny seeing a photo from outside my front door on the interwebs. Will be nice to have a tailor downstairs.
