i don’t quite get that move either.why not jus hav 2 locations instead…but relocating from 125th st? wasn’t it recently dubbed the best street in all the US?
I don’t understand why this move? The Kiosk was located in the commercial district of 125th street and move it to an obscure location on 5th Ave, which does not get that much tourist foot traffic.
It is also not accessible from the A,B,C,D subway line as mentioned and a slight walk from from the 2,3 train.
