New York friends – do yourselves AND the East Village a favor. The next time you’re on the corner of St. Marks Place and 2nd Avenue, go into Gem Spa (@besteggcream), order one of their famous egg creams and buy a magazine or two. The iconic 80-year-old corner store hit a rough patch of late, so you’d be helping this legendary place stay in business. Did you know Gem Spa has been a hangout for beats, hippies and punks? Or that Jean-Michel Basquiat named one of his most famous works after it? Or that Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac frequented the stand? Or that Robert Mapplethorpe bought Patti Smith an egg cream there not too long after she moved to New York? This is exactly the kind of establishment that gives New York City so much character, that makes you love Manhattan as much as you do.

I went into Gem Spa (IG: @besteggcream ) looking to buy a magazine to read on the subway and all I found was this cat surrounded by snack foods and cold drinks. Gem Spa used to be one of the great newsstands in New York, carrying all the usual publications along with all manner of downtown and East Village art and literary creations. That faded over time, made obsolete by online media. The magazine racks slowly gave way to shelves of knickknacks and junk. But some basic magazines and newspapers were always there. Until now.
One of the owners told me — she didn’t want to be photographed, thus my first cat shot — that someone had sabotaged them by telling their magazine distributor that they were going out of business. The distributor stopped supplying and then asked for a large deposit to resume supply. That same someone was also able to get the state to revoke their license to sell lottery tickets and cigarettes. Those are the items that got people into the store to then spend money on the other stuff. They suspect their landlord is trying to force them out of business.
If you stay around long enough everything changes. Everyone has their landmarks that they’re sad to see disappear. If Gem Spa goes, a bit of history will go with it. Check out their new IG account and you’ll see a piece of it. For the moment, though, Gem Spa is fighting for its life. They expect to get their Lottery license and magazines back if they can hang on. Their plan is to sell a limited number of Gem Spa T-shirts to tide them over. I’m definitely buying one.

Gem Spa is open!! Contrary to rumors that are circulating we are not closed and very much open for business. However there have been some changes. We have been forced to clean up our storefront and scale back our hours due to landlord and staffing issues. The Zoltar machine was removed by its owner due to our scaled-back hours in order to prevent vandalism. A couple of months ago, we lost our cigarette and lotto licenses which made up for 80% of our revenues. This has significantly impacted us and as a result we have had to cut back on things such as newspapers and magazines as we simply cannot afford to carry them at this time. We will resume carrying limited titles in about four months once we get our cigarette & lotto licenses back. Thank you to our loyal and beloved customers for their outpouring of love and support. We hope to see you soon!
