Drake drew crowds to a pop-up shop at 208 Bowery this past August.
News of this OVO outlet first started circulating on Dec. 5...

Last fall, a John Barrett luxury hair salon, which also sold vintage Rolex watches priced to $30,000, opened here. The salon closed after just a few months in business.
