Hell's Kitchen: The moment we've been waiting for since November is nigh: American Apparel is thisclose to opening their store on Ninth Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets. Racked photo guy Will Femia was lucky enough to drop by while they had the door open the other day, and from what he's relayed we're only a few shipments of primary-colored cotton tees and hoodies away from a fully functioning branch here. Hell's Kitchen is really coming along, isn't it?
