Modified Vestibule Arrives at Corner Grocers on Orchard

Looks like we spoke a tad too soon with regard to the Corner Grocers vestibule. A short time after our last story ran, the sidewalk-hogging enclosure appeared outside 140 Orchard Street, albeit with some slight modifications.

Indeed, the new and improved structure is indented a couple feet near the Orchard Street choke point by the payphone. The shrinkage makies it easier to walk two abreast through the narrows, but remains relatively crowded. Oh, and Corner Grocers is now selling Christmas Trees in its “front yard.”
