Manhattan used to have very distinctive neighborhood and loads of mom and pop stores.
Now its mostly homoginized.
Wouldn't you rather five of those mom and pop shops get closed down so Guy Fieri can have a place to serve his Trashcan Nachos?
Please support mom n pop joints. Walmart and the food court got nothing on these guys.
Mom n Pops should be replaced by Starbucks, nail salons and smoke shops.
I absolutely love that there is no Walmart in NYC. Keep that car slave parking lot culture outta here!
Mayor and governor don’t doings nothing about it. Rent and shoplifting all part of the city.
capitalism interference.
when the NY WW2 generation died , NY died .
because the mayor and governor are answering to their bosses
I used to have a cleaners with an awesome old school italian couple. The sweetest people ever. They've both passed on, Then I moved to Harlem and had an awesome cleaners on 152nd and Broadway.owned by an Asian family...the Lees. Literally saw the daughter grow from at kid in elementary school to a college student. Small shops are the backbone of NYC.
They're closing down because. The rent in New York to have a business like these are astronomical.
Their best bet of survival is to put their items online as in a online store
Those little stores are what add CHARM and CHARACTER to the neighborhoods. Today, people want cheap, Wal-Mart, Dollar store, Chinese made crap!
Blame urbanists from the 1960s. They made it so small businesses who want to make a living here can’t. Fortunately NYC was one of the few places small businesses can flourish until the rampage of inflation and high rent costs start to now drive them away.
Dear @eddie, At 1:10 minutes, I agree, in part, with your sentiment.
Nowadays, one need not bring his art to the factory.
People are struggling financially.
The CWA union kicked their own to the curb, causing crime -- coming to confused, confounded, and consternated citizens. China's redress is certainly congruent.
America: A place where we blame systemic issues caused by corporate business interests and corrupt government on individual people who have/had little power to change it.
Not a young lady I know, she ask's do we make anything in the USA?!
I don't buy Chinese crap
Economy Candy! I seriously didn’t know it still exists! I love it! Used to go there ”back in the days”! -E.K.
I still go there ❤❤❤ I live far but when I'm in the area I'm always looking
It was super crowded when I stopped in a month ago
It’s tough to survive as a small business owner, you can’t compete with big companies like Walmart, target.
Welp, somehow Target is closing in some areas because of shoplifters so these mom and pop aren't losing hope...
I know that sometimes "older" generation does not like technology. I hope that family & the community help businesses like this! Beautiful story
Glasers was my pastry shop!!! Good polish and German sweets !
New York not the only state,All businesses can’t make ends meet.All small businesses taking a loss or get out!!!!
California is now taxing any business that closes!
My city is just another generic city. Just a bunch of high rises with high rent and tourists. I miss old school NYC.
Shoutout to Eddie’s Sweet Shop in Forest Hills, Queens.
Sweet segment! 😢❤ Lets save these charms and dont let the rent go high for them! People are slaves to money and needs to be stopped! Stop on restrictions and then, we can live freely....
They got candy cigarettes? Those were my go to back in the day lol
At lot of the shops had to shut down because of rent hikes during and after the pandemic. Some were lucky to move and re-opened else where while others just retired because they were old and had nobody wanted to carry on the businesses.
I travel throughout small town in Texas & I am seeing Mom & Pop Shops closing due to inflated rents it's hard to do a business with no profits.
Speaking of "vanishing" do a piece on Christal Young herself - the only remaining New York reporter that actually has a New York accent!
This video made me cry.
I'm so glad Economy Candy still exists! I haven't ordered anything from them in a while.
Wow, Sad to hear that old NYC is dying.
Shoutout to GS Socks and Belts on 14 St. He has been there since 1990 after moving from Senegal, Africa. Well known and loved by many. He used to sell tapes of music, now he sells them socks, hats, shirts etc. His store is the size of a closet, due to high rent and his store is being PHYSICALLY CUT IN HALF!! Safe NYC!!!!!
@ 4:30
$15 street tax....Every street has a truck / loading parking only sign..... speed camera ....red light cameras...
22000 meter maids...
WOW!!!!!
Jacks 99 cent store on 32nd and 6th Street was a BIG department store. The one on 40th street is still there and going strong but the original 32nd street location was a big staple. So sad to see it gone.
Wait, Jack's 99 cents is not there anymore?
I don’t think the original store is gone. What I know is, it was reduced to one floor only. It used to be 3 levels.
@@imrytebeehyneu NOPE
@@Crazy-Clown-In-Town Oh no, it's GONE. Oly the 40th Street location exist.
But Smoke shops are opening everywhere
They need to closed down.
Robberies
SMOKE SHOP FENTANYL remix 😢
Suggestions for the news title: little shops are getting fewer due to shoplifting, stealing, and killing on NYC streets…
Are you trying to throw these shops out? Do you hate these mom and pops?
@@imrytebeehyneu No other person saying why Small Businesses are becoming Unicorns in NYC...
But, but, but...the NYC council is supposedly your allied..😂😂😂
WOW 😲😳
Search & Destory purchase my jacket for 30 and sold it fo 300
😂😂 you got robbed...😂
So sad...
Yo that Fried Oreo price was good! 12 for $7!
Once congestion pricing is put in place, every small business should move to Florida.
The ingredients killed the customer.
Love Saves The Day is the store I missed so much.
They sell old toys and other toys that I never heard of. Why they were gone I don't know....
I think they moved to New Hope PA.
A little Collectible shop of over 40 years just closed Myrtle ave in Ridgewood Queens,
Screaming Mimi’s, search and destroy, economy candy… these are all my stores… my boutiques and local stores in my many nyc hoods. I grew up in these punk and vintage stores !!! Built my wardrobe.
Trash N Valdville was one of the stores that is similar to Search and Destroy.
Kim's videos used to have two floors: VHS, DVDs and CDs.
They once have a comic book store. Small but it look adventurous.
And is they only street in St.Mark that has numerous record stores
Today, Pffft, now it's filled with import restaurants and lounges..
I mean the place was a wonderland for young punks like me but that all changed😢
Great video. But an evg cream in a paper cup. No way,thats not a . NY. So many small places, would love to see them all mentioned. Rays beauty supply on 8 th ave in the 40's .
Who remembers before it was Ray's???
It was Andy's Candy Store
Until the end.
Yup. No particular hours was a rad shop and they went under
I hate to hear this cause that’s what attracts me to NYC 😞
It was a personal hangouts in my days until music downloads and online shopping kill that buzz
@@imrytebeehyneu then they saying Nyc Loosing its Accent smh the internet made everyone under 1 umbrella
Blame Amazon.
That's so sad to me.
RIP Cranberrys in Brooklyn heights.
There's a smaller city near you that needs a recharge. Consider getting out and moving on to greener pastures
This has been happening in cities all over the country. Commercial rent is crazy high, people want to buy cheap crap at all costs, and people don't see the value in niche places (corporate businesses target the most common denoninator which leads to bland, cookie cutter stores).
Nice to see these small shops closing 😀 They should be replaced by Starbucks, nail salons, and smoke shops. LOL.
Ahh it’s just not fair !
I MISS THE REAL NY
This candy shop is doing well. It’s not closing.
They didn't say it was closing. They say it's a surprise they're still here
In south philly i was raised to not bother business owners, only go in the store if necessary
Just like Toronto! SAD
you should interview youtuber louis rossman about why businesses are disappearing in NYC....
Hi Ray ray
Everyone is obsessed with Amazon. Every online purchase helps to diminish independent wealth. Every time we order from Amazon we help to reverse distribution of wealth. It’s now heavily concentrated to Amazon. No one sees we are all paying the price.
big corporations coming and change NYC, make more modern, more clean and safe place to live.
Smoke shop remix FT "FENTANYL"
Screw big corporations and screw gentrification
Pretty soon all of America will just be corporate chain stores.😢
CRIME is the Vanish issue... The Media comes off like idiots and soon NO Small Businesses in NYC...
Bidenomics is working!😂
This is what build back better looks like!😂
"We did it Joe!"😂
"Every dollar I make goes to the rent and to the taxes" soooo sad 😢
I have a small business and its pretty much like that. I need to start a second business but I never seem to find the time
Shame on the disgusting people who lead this horrible city.. go away..
WHERE?????
Maybe because small shops do not offer a 401K plan or health care coverage to any employees...why work at one for minimum wage and get no benefits at all?
It's a store, not a retail...
Iranian changed his name to Alvarez... A lot of old school business owners used that playbook to appropriate a race to conduct business in the big apple.. funny.
Rampant crime wouldn’t have anything to do with it now would it ..
It's not the crime so much as the unbearable cost to do business in Manhattan. They make it near impossible...and that's by design.
More like gentrification
Why would someone rob a mom and pop store? You buggin...🪰
Wonder if they have candy cigarettes?
TO NY small shop owners or workers. To California Fast Food workers: If you lose your jobs..... I suggest wellness. Hang around in Whole Foods parking lots. Lots of money, nice cars, nice unarmed people too. OH and YOGA studios....in strip malls in affluent areas. Sexy women come outside the door at night, all alone. You'll have time on your hands.....and I hope you pursue wellness.
They can't possibly survive the rents/taxes. Yet we can afford ASYLUM SEEKERS.
Yup are you still proud to be an American😂
The Biden Regime plan
Let's not be racist now. We're talking about lost stores. C'mon, let it go
@@imrytebeehyneu Cut it out with the racist horseshit either take some in your house and shut your mouth
I bet they don't have Snaps licorice candy
😂 call them
$7.99 for gummy bacon? That's more expensive than real bacon.
But they're ready to eat instead of cooking
Gummy fentanyl bacon remix😢
Amazon is trying 2 put these mom + pop shops out of business
I miss that wonderful vintage flavor of botulism and lead base paint intoxication that only the good ol' times used to bring to the wonderful people who are absolutely not full of 💩 used to enjoy 💀👍🏻
Swallow the wax??? No thanks lol
Is very sad haven closing stores like this N Y is loosing charming
When the city turns on Congestion Pricing, there will be no more ifs for these small business owners.
I'm someone who would be happy to pay "congestion pricing" (Congestion they created BTW) with a couple of caveats. Get rid of the bike lanes, outdoor dining shacks, ban ride shares & put the BQE back to the way it was in 2014.
@@ThundersMcCoyNO!!!
You're the kind of people that don't care about anyone but yourself. People work, ride, walk, sits or hangout on these streets long before you were born. They moved out cause of the increase crimes, bums on the streets, toxic leads on cars and noise that gets bigger. Once the congestion pricing takes over, things are getting cleaner, quieter and develop new characteristic on the neighborhood. And these MaP will still thrive in years
@@imrytebeehyneu HA! HA! You really believe that don't you? I don't know if I should call it adorable or sad.
@@ThundersMcCoy took you ten hours on what to say but came up with this pathetic response...😂🤣. Aww, am I pissing you off? Let me know if it's working?
Stop complaining if you don’t want them to disappear then you should patronize the small business
Money talks… meaning sadly these small shops won’t bring the much needed income to the city. And the city prefers evicting and not renewing these leases in favor of future tenants who are willing to pay more
Yes this has always been the cycle unfortunately. It's one of the biggest bummers about living in any major city.
Are you one of those landlords that want to boot them out passionately?
Yeah how have they contributed to their demise?
Thanks to greedy elite developers...
Evolution happened now there called bodegas i used buy penny candies
They saved Ray’s candy store like 8 times, probably time to close down.
He’s 91. At this point I’m pretty sure they’re just waiting for the end of
This is what I keep saying. NYC is my unique anymore. It is just like any other metropolitan city in the world. All shops are just franchises. And there’s no more characters like it was before. What you have here in NYC (good things), you can find in other major cities
Why are you smiling your city is going down and youre smiling, I dunno seems weird to me.
It’s because of online shopping people. Stop the big A. Patronize these stores if you want them around. Stop being lazy and move off the couch.
if the mom and pop stores close, where will the black community go to shop lyft?
Question: why DO they shoplift these retail stores anyhow?
@@imrytebeehyneu because they are close by?
But but but but but but the economy is boooooooooooming. Biden said so.
Stories are closing in all states , all victims of pandemic and recovery is too difficult to recover over financially, and now wages increase and, of course, inflation.
Competing with the migrants kids selling candies
Yup, they're stealing your job

Bidenomics ™️
Bushinomics was the one that started killing all in 2000 not Biden
Really? You think rezoning every part of nyc to tear down the old and build new huge buildings wouldn’t do this? Tear away all the charm and communities and build more high rises so the yuppies have space to move here.
Whose gentrification brought those "yuppies" here?

Pesky landlords

Who needs that nonsense when there's money to be made...
