SOHO—The Michael Kors store that dared replace Soho stalwart Jerry's is now open. Reports a tipster: "Michael Kors Prince St. Open for business- in all its unearthly glitter." [RackedWire Inbox]

UPPER WEST SIDE—Mr. Chocolate himself, Jacques Torres, is (or was) ringing people up at his new UWS shop today. A reader writes: "Jaques Torres’ new UWS chocolate emporium is up and running, with Chef Torres himself behind the cash register as of five minutes ago when I walked past. Sadly, my cellphone cam wasn’t working." [RackedWire Inbox]
