MoonLab 42 is a satellite of a family-owned concept store 42 from Tbilisi, Georgia, run by Ruso Margishvili and John Holden, a Georgian-American couple living in Harlem. Two years after moving to New York, they opened their first brick-and-mortar shop nearby, a 58” wide storefront tucked between two buildings on 405 West 145th Street. Their re-opening party will take place at the concept store on October 22 from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and will be free and open to the public. Stop by!
