New York community organization Made in the Lower East Side (miLES) demonstrated just how great the appetite is for temporary storefront space in lower Manhattan this past spring. Its call for applicants to creatively use a neighborhood storefront brought in more than 100 proposals, including 10 different pop–up stores, 20 pop–up classes, and a film festival.
