The West Village's Dylan & Harry Is Closed & Done

The new reality on Bleecker Street isn't for everyone. Dylan & Harry, the preciously named little children's boutique that couldn't, on the corner of Bleecker and Christopher, is closed. Open as of just a few weeks ago, it was noted they also had a location on Madison Avenue. That location may or may not be closed as well. Their online location, dylanandharry.com, has also been shuttered.

The owners could try their luck on Hudson Street one block west, but it looks like the property owners over there are holding out for their own gold coast clientele with deep pockets.
