Last summer a rumor circulated that Trash & Vaudeville would be moving out of its storefront in St. Mark's Place, which they've inhabited for over 40 years. When we dropped by, we were told this wasn't true, but owner Ray Goodman has now all but confirmed it with EV Grieve, saying: "The rent is creeping up. Rent was a factor, but it wasn't the sole reason." And today, the shop posted on their Instagram that their time in the space is coming to a close at the end of the month.

Hey Ho Lets Go... to 96 East 7th street! After over 40 years at 4 saint marks place, Trash & Vaudeville will be relocating to 96 East 7th street between 1st Avenue and Avenue A (just a few blocks away!) We'll be on Saint Marks till Feb 29th. We would love to see you here before we move and we look forward to seeing you on 7th street in early March! We'll keep you updated with confirmed dates.

We've reached out to the shop for more details, and will update when we hear back.
