Apple plans a third NYC store

C'mon Apple... Upper West Side!! The Jews, they love their shiny iCrap. And you got all the universities up there...

[I'll be living at Jewish Theological Seminary in the fall, Bwy&122]

the reason apple would want to build a store here is because it is surrounded by other high-profile stores, like SoHo. So basically, the tourists come to look at expensive and trendy clothing and then see the Apple store and go in to buy something for their iPod.

nothing like the boston massacre. Cant ever live that one down, suckers

Why they don't have an Apple Store in Park Slope, Astoria or Williamsburg is beyond me. These areas are booming beyond belief. C'mon Apple; there's more to NYC than Manhattan.

I meant to write, "Union Square is actually quite close to SOHO..."

NYC's Meat-Packing district is a protected landmark zone, similar to Soho. Thus whatever design of the store is, it would have to be built into the existing facade of the building. They couldn't do a complete refresh, like the San Francisco corner store or 5th Ave. Union Square WOULD be a great space for the store, but it's actually quite close to Union Square. Meat-Packing district is boomy-trendy-style now. Lots of money going in there.

iMePa! wooo!

OMG. that would be awesome...walking distance! woo hoo!

i believe they can open 5 more in nyc, but we are waiting in brooklyn for one, what are they waiting for!

If you want to count up all the Apple Stores in the NYC Metro area - then you can compare THAT to the sprawl that is LA.

I checked the list - I counted 14 in the tri state area (NY, NJ, CT) and all in cities/towns that people commute to NYC from every day, most of the towns are also on mass transit lines. I know you can get to the one in West Nyack that way. So when they say NYC is getting its 3rd store - they really mean Manhattan.
