The "Americanization" of Manhattan continues. ;-( Other freepers will mock me, but one of the great things about New York is that it wasn't "McWorld" dominated by chain stores. Those of us who live in small apartments LIKE the little hardware stores.

Do people in Manhattan actually do home repairs themselves?

You also won't find cement, lumber or drywall, which can be special-ordered. I prefer Lowe's. But both the Home Depot in Hollywood and the Lowe's have full lumberyards. And the Home Depot is open 21 hours a day.

Home Depot opened the N.Y. store so Tony Stewart would be near his Sponser when he comes to N.Y. to collect his NEXTEL CUP championship trophy this winter. GO TONYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

They're going to need a lot more than 15 people to fill up that store.
I see why Home Depot is trying to expand there -- dollars, of course -- but the cognitive dissonance of an upscale Home Depot selling $8,000 rugs in Manhattan is brain-shattering.

I just noticed the store last night, I think it already was open - at least it looked like it was as I drove by. Let me tell you, for things like window blinds and simple things like screws and stuff, that place is very welcome - and don't buy into the notion that everyone in the city is a metrosexual, that's a fallacy. You can do some pretty serious home repair in apartments.
Going to pay a visit tomorrow, it looked more like a Bed Bath & Beyond from the street, but we'll see.

Some of those products include rugs ranging from $200 to $8,000 80 bills? For a rug? Geez, the one I use to keep motorcycle parts from rolling around when I do a rebuild in the living room was only $4200.

Sounds like an Expo design center more than a Home depot.

Home Depot has jumped the shark.
