Moe Ginsburg Closing

NEW YORK (AP) -- In what may be a sign of the times in more ways
than one, Moe Ginsburg, the clothier at 21st St. and 5th Ave.,
where New Yorkers on a budget knew they could find a sensible suit,
is closing.
   The store declared bankruptcy last year, but the store's owner,
Paul Ginsburg -- son of the late founder Moe -- hoped to pull out of
it. But now, the no-nonsense haberdashery has started a liquidation
sale, and store managers say the doors will be shut for good in a
month.
   At one time the store sold 50,000 suits a month, but now sales
people are trying to clear out the last 4,000 suits and blazers.
   Customers over the years have included former mayors Rudolph
Giuliani, Ed Koch, actor Robert De Niro and lawyer Johnnie Cochran.
   "It's just one of those unfortunate things -- 9/11 put us behind
the eightball," said Tom Pinto, merchandise manager at the store.

Interesting list;

What other businesses highlighted on Seinfeld went out of business.

In article , [email] says...

I transcribed the episode 'The Subway', but didn't know that George was talking about Moe Ginsburg (never heard). So it's transcribed as Mount Kingsbrough or something...if Mike hasn't fixed it yet. Anyway, George says his suit was bought from Moe's ($350) when that woman stole his clothes.
