29th St Between 7th Ave and 8th Ave

Absolutely lousy with fur wholesalers, there's practically nothing else on this block save for a newish Holiday Inn Express and some parking. OK, that may be a bit of a lie since there's also a Fencing supply store. Narrow and industrial, it's not the most welcoming place to stroll around.

This feels like an area whose buildings aren't going to make it another 10 years. The potential value of the real estate here must be staggering, I can't imagine the owners continuing with beaten-up fur storefronts when they could be looking at 45-story condos. I'm not saying I hope for that, but it really feels close-at-hand.
