Thank You Howard Shultz For Not Closing Roosevelt Island Starbucks
Several readers have written in advising that the full list of Starbucks stores to be closed has been made public and that our Roosevelt Island Starbucks is not on the list.
Ten of the six hundred Starbucks stores to be closed will be in New York City. According to the NY Times:
When Starbucks released the full list of stores tagged for elimination, it included six in Manhattan, two in Queens and one in Brooklyn. All of those in Manhattan are in Midtown: 340 Madison Avenue (at 44th Street), 400 Madison Avenue (near 48th Street), 1600 Broadway (near 48th Street), 1675 Broadway (near 52nd Street), 565 Fifth Avenue (near 46th Street) and on the fifth floor of Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square.Thanks Howard for not killing off Roosevelt Island's hope for retail amenities!
The stores to be closed in Queens are both in Glendale, one in the Atlas Park shopping center, the other at 8989 Union Turnpike. The Brooklyn shop is at 8414 Third Avenue (at 84th Street) in Bay Ridge.

I would HATE to lose Starbuck's, and I hope they stay in business for the next 30 years. But I'll bet you that if they closed, Related would have a Dunkin' Donuts in there in 60 days or less. Wouldn't be as good, but it wouldn't be like the shameful storefronts in Northtown.
