Heading outside the usual coverage zone for a moment... down to Spring and Lafayette, where Tiny Empire is opening its first Manhattan juice shop...
Tiny Empire opened in Williamsburg a few years back.
Here's owner Anthony Spadaro in an interview with Cool Hunting from January:
"I was part of a strange teen angst movement called vegan/straight-edge; ultimately a continuation of punk. We hung out in skate shops, backyard half pipes and health food stores in upstate New York; caused trouble, skated and drank juice (sort of the antithesis of what people think of when they think juice). The activism fell off a while back, but juice has remained pretty constant. I came to the end of a career as a tattooer a few years ago, and it seemed obvious to pursue something based in juice/health, so I opened a juice bar in Woodstock, NY in 2010 (not Tiny Empire), and then Tiny Empire in 2012."
