New Neighbor(?): Penelope’s Playspace

Given the fact that a (not so) merry prankster has already tagged the “Flower Mart” location at 60 Henry Street as being the future home of a “cigar bar“, pardon us for being skeptical about the latest “coming soon” posted there for “Penelope’s Playspace”.

Cigar Bar Sign… Bogus?

Since it’s a little late for April Fool, the sign posted on one of the vacant stores at 60 Henry (aka Flower Mart) that claims the location will be home to Cigar Bar is at best questionable. Here’s what the fine print says: The Cigar Bar will be the most luxurious of New York’s cigar […]
