This popular corner in West Village is a coveted tourist attraction thanks to the hit show, Friends, with fans wishing to snap a selfie on the corner of Monica’s apartment building. This beautifully renovated shop to let with basement storage has large windows and exposed brick walls, threading the needle between cozy and modern, like West Village itself.
Among affluent residents and visitors looking for authentic New York experiences, the area remains a big attraction for the LGBTQ community and its allies. The liberal “live and let live” attitude attracts a variety of businesses and customers, especially on weekends: from vintage thrift stores to upscale shops like Joe Malone. Rowdy gay bars like Ty’s and Prohibition-style speakeasies such as Employees Only attract an eclectic evening crowd. There is easy access from Christopher Street station along with PATH trains to New Jersey.
The space is right on the corner of a residential building overlooking the busy intersection of Hudson and Christopher streets. Next door is an award-winning bone broth spot run by chef Marco Canora, and a custom framing and art print shop, Paint Box Gallery 2. Across the street is a professional nail and beauty salon, Spa Belles.
As seen in the photos, parts of the ceiling and exposed brick will need some patching up.
