I took a stroll today around Central Park. On my way I passed the site of the new Apple store on 5th
avenue. It’s being built right in front of the FEO Schwartz Toy Store. I remember going to that FEO Schwartz not too long ago, I forgot why, and noticing the construction. At that time it was being covered by a large canvass and only recently did they unveil the giant cube that they built underneath.
I’m assuming the actual store is going to be more than just the cube, which looked rather small compared to other stores on 5th av. As you can see in the picture, the cube is dwarfed by the building behind it and is only slightly larger than cars in the foreground.
I have a friend who works for Apple and is moving to New York tomorrow to get ready for his new job at this future Apple store. Rumors on the net expect it to be open sometime in June.
