Bleecker Street Now Has the Third Most Expensive Retail Strip in NYC

"The Meatpacking District and Soho can't compete with it anymore," retail broker Faith Hope Consolo told the paper. Neither can London's Bond Street or the Champs-Élysées in Paris—Bleecker Street's boutique rents outrank them both. At least the neighbors (well, the new ones) can afford to shop in all the expensive new stores: The NYDN reports that residential rents in the area are also the highest in the city.
