Original shopping center

[edit]

@Epicgenius does the April 23, 1961 article from the New York Herald Tribune say the original shopping center had 12 stories? I wasn't sure if this was a typo and supposed to be 12 stores or 1-2 stories; I don't have access to this newspaper so I couldn't check it myself. It looks like the shopping center might have only been 1 or 2 stories tall based on the photos and sketches on the Kips Bay Plaza project page from Pei Cobb Freed & Partners and a 1966 photo of Kips Bay Plaza from Second Avenue that shows the shopping center from the Museum of the City of New York.

@Transpoman, the source says 12 stores, not stories. My bad; I must have mistyped something. Epicgenius (talk) 04:36, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Epicgenius thanks for checking this and updating the article! It is helpful to know that it had a dozen stores and wasn't just a bank, cinema and supermarket. One of the other stores in the shopping center would end up becoming the pilot location for a chain of pizza restaurants owned by Rocky Graziano called Rocky Graziano's Pizza Ring.
