Doh. We learned a few months ago that the space in the Tivoli building that used to hold the Uptowner, a pretty tasty deli, would become a Verizon Wireless store. And now it’s open.
The store is something called the Verizon Wireless Zone, which is a reseller, and looks pretty sparse inside. Too bad, the deli was a much better use of the space.
In my opinion, cell phone stores and banks are the worst uses of street-fronting retail space because they don’t cause much foot traffic and are dead most of the time, as opposed to restaurants, bars, or more interesting non-chain retail.
