Our favorite new, bland Bleecker Street chain retailer is up and running. Sunglass Hut held a dim Grand Opening at 351 Bleecker over the weekend, and splurged on a whole bag of Terra Exotic Chips for the occasion. It's unclear how long Sunglass Hut staffers will offer finger foods, but if they get lucky and a tour group stops by, they just might have to break open a second bag. As expected, the interior of the shop was uber-bright and clean with a storage system not unlike the bra drawers at Victoria's Secret. There were also tealights. The party was...quiet, to say the least. Condomania, no. 351's previous inhabitant, definitely got more action than this.
