Ear to the Ground
In February, Business Insider reported that second-home buyers--especially those in the market for luxury homes--were turning their attention from the Hamptons to the Hudson Valley: "The future of the Hamptons is uncertain as prices plummet and luxury buyers head north." Now there's another link between the Hudson Valley--specifically Hudson--and the summer destinations on Long Island--in this case, not the Hamptons but Montauk. Gossips has heard that Montauk Mainstay has signed a lease for 437 Warren Street, the former location of Woodstock General.

They seem to be peddling T-shirts for tourists in Montauk. Hopefully they will be doing something more interesting in Hudson.
ReplyDeleteMaybe peddling Hudson T-shirts for tourists in Hudson.
DeleteWhen Warren Street becomes a slew of Hudson/branded t-shirt and coffee mug vendors, it will be as sad a place as Commecial Street in Provincetown and the Main Street in Cooperstown. Oh, and fudge. Don't forget fudge.
ReplyDeleteAs long as commercial rental space remains as expensive as it is now, I very much doubt a Warren Street business could survive on the sale of T-shirts and coffee mugs.
