New York Magazine reports that Sperry Top-Sider has just opened their first stand-alone store in New York City, right here in the Flatiron at 103 Fifth Avenue at 18th Street.
The store features their signature boat shoes, as well as boots and other styles, and in an interesting move, customers can go right to the back stockroom area to find their size rather than waiting on someone to help them.

On April 19th 2012, over 200 startups will gather in the Flatiron to showcase their products as part of NY Tech Day. The expo runs from 10am-4pm and gives you a chance to see tons of demos from new startups, mingle with the entrepreneurs, and hey, maybe even get a new job! Startups, investors, press, and end users are all likely to be there. There will be an awards ceremony from 6-8pm that same day to honor a few of the more interesting startups.
“We want to create an event that benefits startups of all sizes and gives them the opportunity to directly interact with the community with a focus on their individual needs — they can demo a new product, recruit for open positions, or just say hello to the tech community. The result has transformed NY Tech Day into a ‘psuedo-science fair’ for startups,” said John Petersen, cofounder of NY Tech Day.
It’s FREE to attend and right here in the neighborhood. Space is limited so register today at https://nytechday.com/attendee_registrations/new.

The building at 241 5th Avenue between 27th and 28th street was completely demolished to make way for what is supposedly going to be a 20-story condo building. Originally it was going to become a hotel, but the Wall Street Journal reported in May that plans had changed to turn the lot into a condo building. The property was reported to have been bought while in June from a distressed situation by Victor Homes, a New Jersey-based development and construction company. The property is one block up from the Grand Madison condo building (pictured red brick building on the far right) and 1.5 blocks up from Madison Square Park. Previously the building was home to the 5th Avenue Bazaar.
