From Harry Styles to Snow Ballet: A new pop-up takes over 2nd Street

Photos and reporting by Stacie Joy 

The Harry Styles merchandise has barely cleared out of 22 E. Second St., and there's already another pop-up drawing lines outside Ideal Glass between Second Avenue and the Bowery. 

This time, it's Flower Knows, a Chinese cosmetics brand known for its elaborate, ornate packaging and pastel-colored products.
The Flower Knows Snow Ballet Atelier is here for just three days, Friday through today, offering an assortment of lip glosses, perfumes, blush palettes and other cosmetics. 

The pop-up has drawn lines outside, though crowds have been kept away from neighboring businesses, including Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks and Ergot Records. 

The security team is the same one that worked the Harry Styles-themed Together Together Store, which occupied the space for roughly two months before closing on Nov. 1. 

As for Bonnie Slotnick, whose bookstore was caught up in the commotion surrounding the previous pop-up, she wasn't particularly impressed ... but she acknowledged one advantage over the previous tenant: This pop-up is only sticking around for a few days.
