“An Apple per neighborhood appears to be just what the doctor’s ordered,” Lois Weiss reports for The New York Post.
“We’ve learned that an iconic corner on the Upper West Side will be attacked by Macs, iPods and iPhones,” Weiss reports.
“The location on the northwest corner of West 67th Street hosts the current Victoria’s Secret store at 1981 Broadway, which Apple is planning to tear down and entirely rebuild,” Weiss reports.
“Since the computer maker loves glass, rectangles and cubes, it could be that the 8,500 foot, slightly irregular plot will end up supporting a classy glassy structure smaller than the current 23,997 feet on three levels,” Weiss reports.

Damn. I’ll be in that part of Manhattan this coming January. Can’t they build any faster?
BuriedCaesar,
Unfortunately, you’ll have to take the M66 bus to the East Side and walk downtown a few blocks to the Fifth Avenue store… or take the 1 or 9 train downtown to the 14th street store… or transfer at Times Square to the R/W trains to the original Prince Street store. Either trip should be between 15 and 30 minutes from the location of the yet-to-be-built store.
Sophia Loren,
I stand corrected.
I hope they fix the bootcamp glitch. It automatically formats the drive as Fat 32 even if you partitioned it over 32GB. It has issues even if you continue and install anyways, after it restarts to then begin Installation of Windows, there’s a disk error.
When it automatically formats the partition as Fat32 is a huge deal, you don’t even get the option to choose NTFS. I have to downgrade back to tiger and use BootCamp Beta 1.2 so I can install Windows. Then after thats done I can install Leopard. Imagine if I wanted to make the Windows partition smaller, I would have to wipe out and go back to Tiger all over again.
Big Issue Here APPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why no store in Mississippi?
Apple sucks blah blah
Apple announced 40 more stores for 2008, with a focus on international stores, so hold our horses.
Gimmee a break. I live in West Virginia and the closest store is over 3 hours away. 67th & B’way makes GREAT sense: a re-designed Lincoln Center, Barnes & Noble, Lincoln Plaza & Sony movie theatres… and H&H;just 13 blocks away. Stop whining.
Hurray !!! Apple Stores @ NYC ….. Welcom Apple !!!!!!!
