 Atlantic Avenue Makeover - Wired New York Forum
Like Wall Street and Delancey Street, Atlantic Avenue is one of those New York thoroughfares whose names conjure up distinctive worlds, in its case an incongruous mix of a Middle Eastern bazaar where you can actually buy frankincense and myrrh and a row of Victorian antique shops.
A livelier Atlantic Avenue has been shaking off that stereotype for some time now, keeping most of the signature stores but gaining boutiques that sell idiosyncratic furniture and clothes and voguish restaurants where the food is as likely to be fusion as falafel.
These prospects, whose realization is by no means certain, have jangled nerves on the avenue, with residents and merchants anxious about coagulating traffic, the thunder of more trucks, a dearth of parking places, and a potential upheaval in the avenue's character from one-of-a-kind stores to chain emporiums and souvenir shops.
