New Style, the clothing store on Fifth Avenue between St. Marks and Bergen Streets, closed up over the weekend after less than six months in business. 

It never exactly made a splash in the neighborhood, to say the least, and it was most noticeable for its big red sign and Grand Opening banners, which they still haven't taken down. I never saw many customers in there, and there isn't a single mention of it online, including on Yelp. Add that to a probable rent increase due to the arena being built a couple blocks away, and it's a recipe for disaster.

I'm curious to see what it's replaced by, it could be a sign of things to come.
