Jane's Walk NYC 2025: Rebel Indy Storefront Businesses Amid Chain Stores in Soho/Little Italy
05/03/2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM ET
Admission
- Free
Summary
This walk through parts of Soho and Little Italy highlights independent storefront businesses. The beloved neighborhood shop is becoming increasingly difficult to financially sustain, especially in neighborhoods like Soho and its surroundings where rents for a 350 - 500 sq ft space can cost $6,500 to $11,000 per month. Through my reporting for publications and my newsletter, NYC's Mercantile Mayhem, I have found several independent shops that manage to stay afloat, but only through creative business models. We will visit both new and old school indy shops, with several brief store visits and histories given by the owners. Stores on the walk include: Pearl River Mart, Piemonte Ravioli, Di Palo's Fine Foods, The Goods Mart, Champion Pizza, GEM Home, Kolkata Chai, among others.
