IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Totally young scene. Pretty cool tho and I love that meres one from 5 Pointz is doing and curating the art. The outdoor plaza “open to the public” will be an interesting experiment.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Very beautiful in a flashy Vegas way. Baristas on site, restaurant on top floor. Totally over the top on all levels. The cost of keeping this operational has got to be enormous.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Too crowded to do much looking but the neighborhood crowd esp from Chinatown was very enthusiastic about having this new store in the area.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: get there EARLY. By mid-late afternoon, impossible to ride a bike bc of strollers, pedestrians, kids who don’t watch where they’re going.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Great food although the restaurant ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. But the good is really good - especially if you love herring and salmon, gravlax etc.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: Absolutely gorgeous plant store with a coffee shop on premise. Not sure if this is an extended pop up or here permanently (or as permanent as any retail can be these days)
