And now, the latest from Racked NY, covering shopping and retail from the sidewalks up.
1) LES: After four months of retail switcheroos along Ludlow Street, the street's final change is coming sometime today: the move of Ludlow Guitars from 164 Ludlow to 172. Safe travels, little guitars!
2) Midtown East: Fast fashion giant Uniqlo hasn't yet announced when it will open at 666 Fifth Avenue, but it's quietly making its presence known with the massive plywood signage above.
3) Noho/Central Village: If the lack of fancy French candles for purchase nearby has been what's holding you back from buying the penthouse at 54 Bond Street, well, problem solved! French candle company Cire Trudon has arrived in New York and set up shop in the building.
