The business, on the block since 2003, was previously across the street at No. 27. They moved in March 2017.

No. 18 had been on the retail market since November ($158 per square foot!). Per the listing:

• The block is trending with new exciting retail with new building development on the corner in the near future.

• Access to high density student & younger population. Cannot miss on this block!

Meanwhile, I already know what everyone is thinking about for this retail space: BRING BACK CHERRIES! (RIP 2011)

Addiction NYC heads across St. Mark's Place

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.
