After opening his laundromat at 99 Avenue A between Sixth Street and Seventh Street in 1987, Yongman Kim launched his (now-departed) Kim's Video empire from here. He eventually moved the video business a few storefronts to the south to 85 Avenue (now Somtum Der), which enjoyed its reign of terror until the summer of 2004.
Expect to see the Pyramid Club signage too. (And we've heard rumors of a Mars Bar comeback, too, for the filming.)
As we've noted, the Darren Aronofsky-helmed crime thriller "Caught Stealing," starring Austin Butler (Oscar nominee for 2022's "Elvis"), has been giving parts of Avenue A a 1990s look during the shoot, which is expected to last through Friday

It'll look fake unless they include the 'This Store Has Been Checked for Sleeping Customers' sandwich board at the door.
