Looks like gift/toy store Maxiga has closed — the windows are papered up and no one is answering their phone at their 2233 Broadway location (between 79th & 80th). Maxiga opened on the Upper West Side back in September 2011 (this space used to house a Best Buy Mobile store).

It was all the way back in January that Juice Press announced it was planning to open two Upper West Side stores. As is common with these things, it took longer than expected to happen, but the first UWS Juice Press opened for business last week at 73 W. 82nd (between Columbus & CPW).

“Fashion’s Night Out,” the annual shopping event marked by parties, discounts, celebrities, and other events, descends upon NYC and the Upper West Side tomorrow (Thursday, 9/6). While SoHo might be a sexier destination, the Upper West Side has nearly four dozen stores participating in the evening’s festivities — plenty keep you occupied if you prefer [...]

It’s been less than four months since The Purple Fig opened in the former P.D. O’Hurley’s space at 250 W. 72nd (near West End). During that time it has been plagued by rotten reviews and rumors of financial problems. They’ve now been shuttered for the past few days and a phone call placed to them [...]

Good deal today on a variety of hair salon services (if you’re in the market for such things).
