SOHO—Stop by the Alexis Bittar store in Soho tomorrow night for 20% off spring jewelry and a chance to see Alexis himself. The event runs 5pm to 8pm at 465 Broome Street between Mercer and Greene. [Racked Inbox]

UPPER WEST SIDE—Let's end this day with some drugstore gossip, shall we? A tipster reports that CVS is coming to the Melar at 93rd and Broadway. "CVS will be taking the whole space (10,500 sq. ft.). Saw workmen with stacks of blueprints with a CVS logo in the lobby, and the Resident Manager confirmed that they had taken the space, which interestingly was too small for Barnes & Noble."
