Atla announces itself on Lafayette; coffee shop coming next door



Over at 372 Lafayette St., the first sign of what's to come in the retail space has arrived in the windows here at Great Jones.

Atla is expected to be open by the end of the year.

And while we're over in this direction... signage arrived several weeks ago in the space next door... for Honeybrains, which will be a coffee shop/cafe...





Continuing south... a Yogasmoga clothing store is opening in the new Selldorf-designed condos at 10 Bond St. ... and the Italian fashion brand Boglioli is ready to go with its first U.S. outpost...



Before the two new luxury residential buildings arrived here between Bond and Great Jones, the property held ZP Auto Repair Shop, a parking garage and Harrison Ford's head...

They will all be gone in a year. It's a dead area... no walking traffic.
