At 10am this morning, the doors swung open at 451 Broadway in Soho and customers streamed trickled into CB2, Crate & Barrel's younger, hipper offshoot. The atmosphere inside the store was calm, but there was an undercurrent of excitement as CB2 execs watched a gaggle of New York shoppers browse the merchandise. The space was impeccably clean, well-laid-out and stocked with just about everything you'd need to furnish an apartment. They're charging $69 for unlimited furniture delivery in the NYC area, which is considerably cheaper than what you'd pay to get your Ikea finds home.
