The Greenmarket, soon to be displaced from West Broadway between Barclay Street and Park Place due to the construction of security barriers, will relocate early next month on Greenwich Street near Albany. Initially, three market sellers will occupy the wide sidewalk outside the former queuing area for visitors to the September 11 Memorial. Six more tents are expected to be added.” —Tribeca Trib

Classic press hype… I’ve got a buddy who owns a unit in the building and he’s confirmed that the issue is entirely aesthetic (not structural) … and that they’ve already replaced most of the affected windows. Papers need to sell, though.
The Greenmarket on West Broadway between Park and Barclay was only two vendors — Migliorelli and a baker from Kingston. Migliorelli left at least a month ago, and told me it was because they didn’t sell enough goods at the West Broadway location.
