The NY Post reports that Apple will be building yet another Apple store in New York City on the northwest corner of Broadway and 67th Street.
Sources say Apple plans to put up a new building - which has architecture-buffs wondering if one of Apple's trademark glass designs is on the drawing board.

Apple recently opened up a new NYC Apple store on West 14th street on December 7th.

We are incredibly spoiled here in NYC. I can't wait until people start moaning that they don't have a single Apple Store yet while we are rumored to get a fourth...
 
whoa so cool!!!!! Really close to my house. Its right by Lincoln center and right across the street from a huge barnes and noble
 
Something that they also mentioned in the AppleInsider article...
The Cupertino-based company is also rumored to be looking into yet another flagship location on West 34th Street, directly across from the Empire State Building.
 
Totally lame. How about western Canada? We are a much bigger market than 1/4 of NYC.

Now how do you figure that? NYC has over 25 million people crammed into this little plot of land. Perhaps why there's a Starbucks every other block here. It kind of makes sense that they would want to expand more in NYC, hell it's almost a 2 hour wait to buy something in the SOHO Apple store at times.
 
NYC has between 8-9 million people in all its 5 boroughs (counties). The greater metropolitan area has about 20 million.

That said, Apple stores here are jammed. Apple wouldn't be opening stores without doing extensive demographics. They go where the money is.
 
i have to drive 2 and a 1/2 hours to get to mine, although i will go to the michigan avenue store wayy more often then 12 oaks (im in Michigan)
 
That's a perfect location, actually! I live downtown, but I'm always going to the AMC/IMAX theatre (which is going to be across the street from this Apple store), and then going to have Chinese food at Ollies. Usually Barnes & Noble is a stop too, and I USED to also go to Tower Records while I was up there. Now that Tower's gone, the Apple Store will be my new destination... :D
 
Maybe New York is trying to catch up with Los Angeles, but we've got too much of a headstart. We've got so many Apple Stores here that merely posting a list of them would overwhelm all available Internet bandwidth.

But New York could go for quality instead of quantity.
 
Yes, each of our stores is special in its own way. From the glass cube on 5th Ave to the new store in the meatpacking district massive glass staircase and three floors.

Wait, what? If you pay by credit card at SoHo you never have to wait in line, they have all those people just milling about with the credit scanners. As far as busy goes, it's no worse than anything else in NY.

BUT, I can see adding another NY store, just not in Manhattan, it's overkill; why not put one in Brooklyn? It's cheaper, becoming more trendy/fashionable, and there isn't one there yet.

PS. The Starbucks aren't the problem, it's all the damn bank branches taking up space.

Yeah a Brooklyn store would be cool and Brooklyn deserves one but... Manhattan is where everyone goes when they go to NYC. Thus theyre building where the money is
 
I love Manhattan.


BUT, I agree... western Canada needs an Apple Store. I say Vancouver first for all the film-bots, and then quickly followed by Calgary since a) that's where I am and b) that's where the highest disposable income in Canada is located. It's a completely materialistic city and thus, we need an Apple store to add to our material possesions ;)
 
I believe that is the NORTHwest corner of 67th and Broadway.

(It's the southwest part of the block it's on.)
 
New York doesnt have anything on Southern California as far as how many apple stores... lol i complain because i have to drive 10 minutes to the pasadena store but within a half hour drive i have at least 8 of them near by.
