I don't know how successful the "TurnStyle" retail area has been, in the 57-58 Street mezzanine of 59th-Columbus Circle, but it looks appealing and seems to have a good amount of foot traffic.The concept could be adapted for the closed Sixth Ave concourse between 35-40 Streets. Would probably not have quite the same volume of shoppers, but if the 38th Street entrance was restored, it might become a reasonable retail alternative, as well as a good way to go in bad weather. As for the Gimbels passage, I recall it as being narrower than the typical IND concourse, but I think it also had some retail stores along the building side, as well as entry to Gimbels Basement. It was a pretty gloomy place in its last years, but I would imagine it could be renovated nicely. Especially if Vornado plans to build on the Hotel Pennsylvania site. |
