So Many Shoes Coming To Old Sloane NYC Space

Rumor has it, and the interior seems to confirm, a vintage shoe store is coming to the recently closed Sloane NYC space on the corner of Mott and Broome (map).

And what's up with the new, red awning announcing The Hole? The same source of the info above claims a restaurant was on its way, but those plans have been abandoned.

Sloane NYC Closes; Designer Opens Eponymous Boutique On Greene Street

Sloane NYC closed their doors on the corner of Mott and Broome streets, but not all is lost for those who loved owner and designer Brian Stanziale's one of a kind pieces. Stanziale has opened an eponymous outlet at 112 Greene Street, inside The Garment Room. Sloane NYC was on Mott St since October of last year at a favorable rate but without a lease. Now the landlord has a leased tenant and Brian found a new space.

Note a new awning has already been installed above a small part of the space advertising "The Hole." Sounds so dirty and degenerate, like The Cock (the original Cock on Avenue A). A walk by the blackened windows of The Hole one night last week showed a woman feverishly and, with great success, hip-hop dancing in front of a mirror.
