New Starbucks Validates Hank Freid
Hank Freid's Marrakech Hotel NYC has scored a Starbucks on its ground-floor at 103rd Street and Broadway. The omnipresent coffee vendor has signed a 10-year lease for 1,400 square feet, and will open by the end of August.
Mr. Freid's Marrakech has an interesting history as does the hotelier himself. Put another way, no one would've expected, only a couple of years ago, that Starbucks would choose the ground-floor of 2688 Broadway for a new spot. But it has: According to an understated release on the lease from Mr. Freid's Impulsive Group, "Starbucks is popular in this neighborhood; currently there are other locations in the area."

What makes this even more amusing is that less than 6 months ago, Starbucks CLOSED a store on the west side of Broadway and 103rd Street. It's now an HSBC, I believe.
How about some mention of the numerous 311 complaints lodged against Mr. Freid and the Marrakech (f/k/a the "Malibu Hotel"). It may have a new name, but the Marrakech is still a rat's nest. They dump their garbage outside for days before collection, creating a cornucopia for neighborhood rats. Starbucks should be ashamed to rent space from this guy.
