Ranali Boutique Now Open at 176 Bowery

The hindquarters of the Champ Depot restaurant supply company is now hosting a polar opposite tenant. A new boutique called Ranali just opened here last week after the Kenmare storefront was completely emptied. The address carries the more valuable 176 Bowery designation, yet, according to the marquee-mounted flag, the store owners seem rather lost. This corner of the neighborhood is most certainly not SoHo.

But we digress. Ranali specializes in all sorts of accessories – designer hats, jewelry, bags, etc. Its entrance further marks the changing commercial dynamic along this tiny, five-block thoroughfare.
