Georgia Vintage Boutique Shutters, Pintail Coffee Kiosk Moves in with the Fat Radish

The Georgia Vintage fashion boutique at 27 Orchard Street shuttered earlier this month. Goods are gone and red pineapple pried from the marquee, replaced instead with token tombstone leasing signage. It was a two-and-a-half-year retail tenancy that concluded with a purported lost lease.
Their departure also forced Pintail Coffee, the surf-style successor to Lost Weekend, to relocate. Down the block, though. The coffee business has since joined forces with the Fat Radish, and now operates in its forward lobby from 8am to 4pm daily.
You’ll recall that coffee proprietor Mike Little closed down the trendy Lost Weekend last February after five years on the block. He then downsized moved in with Georgia Vintage two months later, albeit with a total brand update.
