How's Business

Eighth Street in the Village, form 6th Avenue to Broadway, is in dismal straits. It used to be thriving and lively. Indeed, an article in New York Magazine about 15 years ago addressed the raucous feel of the street. Now it is a ghost town. More than 50% of the storefronts are empty and the street is desolate.
