After 15 years on the SE corner of the Bowery at First Street, Blue & Cream has relocated its flagship outpost to 409 Bleecker St. in Greenwich Village.
In a message to patrons, the mid-2000s Bowery gentrifier painted themselves as a trailblazer along this corridor... "before the hotels, museum and galleries popped up."
wow that message from them is so telling ... really shows how delusional these people are. you are on the ground floor of a luxury condo and sell popped collar brochacho clothing to wall st journal subscribers. get a grip you absolute vile ponces
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 9:27 Your high dudgeon is admirable and so very correct.
ReplyDeleteThe New Museum opened there the same year. WTF, they're trying to say they're more culturally relevant than museums?
ReplyDelete"We grew a community..."
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember this store opening with an "art installation" exploiting the patrons of Mars Bar. I believe every business on the block except Chase Bank has closed since this place opened.
Bowery Hotel also opened in 2007. I guess that makes them "original" too.
ReplyDeleteI never saw this place nor even knew of its existence AT ALL until I read this. They sound remarkably ego-centric & dramatic, though!
ReplyDeleteI came here for the same comment as 11:12. That whole building is just a big, bland blur. No clue that place was there. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteBlue & Cream is owned by people who grew up in nyc . Been in the city for 50 years every day. Pioneering style and fashion trends..long before the above commenters have been in the city that’s for sure.
