The store is quietly opening its new Manhattan location this weekend. The 3,000-square-foot space will carry much of the same stuff, alongside some bigger-ticket lines like Harmon. "That is one thing we're excited about," says co-owner Jeff Madalena (left, with business partner Louis Terline). "It's more difficult to sell expensive stuff in Brooklyn." The new spot will "retain the same concept that we have, mixing high-end and low-end," he says. "We never wanted to be that store that sells just stuff that you're supposed to sell." So what will happen to the old Park Slope and Williamsburg outposts? They both get a tune-up, with the former becoming a shoe store this week.
