GREENPOINT—Quirky little design and home furnishings shop Jan and Äya just announced that they'll be closing their store, at 99 Franklin Street, by the end of March. They'll keep holding events and pop-up shops, though, and their website will continue unabated. Stay tuned for details on an in-store sale event later this month. [Racked Inbox]
