TImes Square-friendly business is now up and running on Union Square

NYC Convenience Gifts, a Times Square-friendly business, is now open on the SE corner of 14th Street and Fourth Avenue. (First mentioned here.)

Step into NYC Convenience Gifts and discover a treasure trove of NYC-licensed products, each a unique piece of the city's charm. They have everything from mini license plates to magnetic bookmarks, mugs to hats. And that's not all — the place also offers a range of vaping products and ice cream and luggage...

... and that's just what we saw from the windows. 

Speaking of windows, the army of handless "Children of the Corn"-ish mannequins give us the creeps...
The last tenant, the oddly configured Walgreens, closed here in February 2022

It's a vast space, and we wondered what might eventually move in... the Walgreens was renovated and expanded into the space above the quick-serve restaurants on Fourth Avenue back in 2010... (this far-flung layout is what we meant by "oddly configured.")

Late morning mannequin break

As seen on St. Mark's Place this morning between Avenue A and First Avenue. 

Well, this is not a boat accident! It wasn't any propeller! It wasn't any coral reef!

Multiple readers noted some mostly charred mannequin heads this morning at Temperance Fountain in Tompkins Square Park (top photo via Steven, and below by Derek Berg) ...
This happened last evening (video clip here) ... not sure of the why at the moment... NYFW?

Mid-afternoon mannequin break

Photo by Steven 

As seen outside the now-closed Himalayan Vision at 127 Second Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place. 

As of about 3:30 p.m. today, there were a few discarded mannequins left, but people were quickly scooping up the various parts. 💖💖💖

As a reminder, New Yorkers must separate recyclables into mixed paper or cardboard; and metal, glass, plastic, cartons or mannequin parts.
