This summer, the Downtown Alliance launched RE:Store, a new program designed to give small business operators the opportunity to open a free temporary pop-up storefront in Lower Manhattan. Through Labor Day, you’ll have the opportunity to shop at six exciting new pop-ups featuring seven businesses across the neighborhood.
Throughout the rest of the summer, you can expect activations and other fun community activities, including special prizes. The full list of businesses is shown here:
Plus BKLYN: vintage plus-slzed clothing at 2 Broadway
