Inger Tildsen-Preton estará horneando pan para la Soda Shoppe de la farmacia Dichter.
La farmacia local del vecindario está de vuelta con una explosión, un menú y un nombre más dulce, ligeramente diferente: de Farmacia Dichter a Soda Shoppe.
El nuevo espacio en Broadway se encuentra a pocos pasos de distancia de donde estaba su antiguo refugio, que se quemó hace poco más de un año.
El propietario, Manny Ramírez, firmó el contrato para el nuevo espacio a principios de este año. El lugar de 1,500 metros cuadrados, ofrece no sólo señales de bálsamos prescriptivos y suministros de botiquín, ahora también anima a todos a acercarse furtivamente sobre uno de sus nuevos taburetes cromados y apoyar los codos sobre el mármol del mostrador.

Manny Ramírez has re-opened Dichter’s Pharmacy Soda Shoppe.
The local neighborhood pharmacy is back with a bang, a menu and a slightly different, sweeter name: Dichter’s Pharmacy Soda Shoppe.
The new space on Broadway is just a few steps away from where his former haunt, which burned down just over a year ago, stood.
Owner Manny Ramírez signed the lease for the new space earlier this year.
The 1,500-square-foot space beckons not only with prescriptive balms and medicine cabinet supplies, but also now encourages visitors to sidle up onto one of its new chrome stools and lean upon the marble counter-top.

The life and career of UniWorld Group founder Byron Lewis was celebrated in Harlem.
Before Don Draper, there was Byron E. Lewis, Sr.
The founder of UniWorld Group (UWG), Lewis created and headed a multicultural ad agency in 1969, when the importance of appealing to a more diverse constituency of consumers was not a priority.
During the late 1960’s and '70’s, the federal government initiated a series of affirmative action mandates for major corporations and communications companies to hire minorities to help offset these negative social conditions.
Lewis took advantage of these mandates to launch UWG.
