180 THE STORE HAS EXPANDED DOWNSTAIRS
180 The Store, at 180 Duane, has added to its housewares and furniture collection, converting the downstairs office to a new showroom. The upstairs is still largely clothing, but with a new display of Frama home goods, furniture and apothecary from Denmark.

NEW MARKET BUILDING IS RAZED

The store on Franklin that sells up-and-coming yet radically expensive designer clothing is opening another store in Miami, word on the street has it.

BUDDHA-BAR ADDING SUNDAY SERVICE
Buddha-Bar restaurant, which opened in the former Megu space in July, has added Sunday service to its hours, from 5 to 11:30p.
