For those who enjoy a retail real-estate mystery, here's one that puzzled me recently. Before the pandemic, a 27-block stretch of Second Avenue on Manhattan's Upper East Side was outperforming most city shopping strips with a relatively low storefront vacancy rate of 8.6%, according to real-estate advisory and management firm Newmark. Then Covid-19 hit. And what happened? Its vacancy rate actually dropped, to 6.4%.
Same for Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side. The street's vacancy rate of 9.6% at the start of 2020 fell to 7.4% by year-end, according to Newmark.

Three years after launching the Edible Couture truck, in the summer of 2020, she partnered with Poreyah Benton of Vegan Ahava to launch a combined New Haven storefront on Court Street. Hudson sells her cupcakes, cheesecakes and other specialty sweets alongside Benton's vegan comfort foods. It was the first brick-and-mortar space for both women, as Benton also has a food truck.
