Mensch Supply and the Subway’s Second Act | New York City News
Description
When the MTA threatened to relocate Mensch Supply again for the Second Avenue subway’s next phase, owner Howard Kahn refused to go quietly—recalling how they’d forced him out two decades prior. This time, the MTA listened, remembering their past actions and opting for a compromise: taking just 15 feet of his 10,000-square-foot space plus a small paint store next door. Instead of shutting him down again, they’re working with the community to minimize disruption—and even see the new station as a future boon for East Harlem businesses.
