ZABARS FAMILY RENTS TO STORE FOR DRAG QUEENS AND OTHER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

A friend of mine used to call Ricky’s, the beauty supply and wild costume store, the Drag Queen Supply Company. There is, sadly, no actual drag queen supply company, so Ricky’s will have to do for now — and luckily the Upper West Side is about to get another one.

The New York Post reported this week that Ricky’s is moving into the space at 2385 Broadway on 87th Street owned by the Zabar family (yes, that Zabar family). It turns out the Zabars turned down banks and drugstores that wanted to move into the space, because they were holding out for a place that would fit in more with the Upper West Side’s neighborhood feel. Ah, our friendly neighborhood drag queen supply store.

Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.
