    I loved that store. I thought I heard the owner say they might move to Vermont??? Very sad to see that store go.

    That store was so cute! I can't believe the market in that area couldn't support that store.

    Cute. Hmph. Overprice "lifestyle" pieces I could do without. Nest, Home, , Cog and Pearl, nope, they don't Matter to me. The 1st time I went into Nest was during their clearance; and even THAT was crazy expensive. buh-bye sez I.

    Nest was one of the first places to grace the barren south slope strip - i bought many gifts there and i enjoyed the store very much - i wish them luck and thanks for beautifying our community for the time you were there.

    Everytime I walked in there, I felt a very cold shoulder from the man behind the counter. He never said hello, never asked if he could help us, nothing.

    They weren't the first eatshoplocal!! Don't make me list the stores, going back from when Otto started on 10th st!@ Nest was a cold place to roost.
    Im sure they'll find a nice new home in Soho.

    i'm sad i missed the sale; there was a pendant lamp in the window i'd been eyeing for over a year.

    and the reasons the places you list are expensive is because the items are handmade by actual artists, not by factories in china.

    Hey chipster - i said ONE of the first - how about you list the stores since it seems you have time.

    ..and while your at it make a list of the stores in the south slope that have come and gone - im sure that list will be longer.

    I always stopped in Nest when I was down that way, but I don't think I ever bought anything. The merchandise looked cool in the store, but most of it was too modern for my taste, and there wasn't enough variety. Granted, it was a small space, but I could look at all the goods in 5 minutes, and I feel like whenever I'd go back, nothing had really changed. I wish them luck in their new location, though. Hopefully they'll have more space, and can stock a wider variety of stuff.
