Addiction NYC has closed up shop at 27 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue... the tattoo parlor and smoke shop is headed across St. Mark's Place to No. 18...
As we understand it... Addiction will be merging with existing businesses from the same owner ...
No. 27 is one of the properties that controversial landlord Rapahel Toledano, who just filed for Chapter 11, is trying to sell. Meanwhile, the retail tenants here have received major rent increases. The Sock Man moved away (to 99 1/2 St. Mark's Place) from his longtime home in one of the spaces last January after the rent was hiked by 3x. The tenant Toledano's brokers found to replace The Sock Man, the rolled ice cream shop Lab -320°, closed after six months in business.
Thanks to Steven for the photos!

I remember going there as a freshman at NYU in 2007 to get my ear pierced. While that sentence might throw a lot of longtime readers into conniptions, that was nearly 10 years ago so I feel like I should be allowed to reminisce!
A very appropriate business naming.
