••• A young guy with a big beard—he was sort of Dickensian, but cleaner—is pulling out all the stops (or at least the stars) to sell this bike on West Broadway.

••• Yankee Bill’s Costume Superstore has popped up on Broadway between Franklin and Leonard.

••• A current deal on Gilt City: You can pay $50 for a preview of the Steven Alan holiday collection, with 40% off pre-purchase of anything from it, 20% off Steven Alan goods for the rest of the year, and 10% off stuff from other brands in the store.

••• Today’s deal on Tippr: $15 for $30 worth of Papabubble candy.

••• The Jhankar space appears to be turning into a deli (that’s its awning below). Inside, you can see shelves and a steam-table set-up. Not exactly the classy step forward I was hoping for.
