It’s Leaving 57th Street, but Rizzoli Bookstore Vows Sequel
By JAMES BARRON

At Rizzoli, a spokeswoman for the building’s owners said the bookstore had known for three years that the lease would expire.
The spokeswoman, who represents the LeFrak real estate family and Vornado Realty Trust, did not say what would replace Rizzoli
but said that “current plans do not call for a condominium on the site.”
The owners recently told Rizzoli that it was going to tear down the bookstore’s building, as well as two adjoining buildings.
A spokeswoman for Rizzoli, Pam Sommers, promised that the store would relocate. “We don’t have a property,” she said, “but we are
actively looking, and we are definitely reopening.” She said the field had been narrowed to “several interesting properties,” but added,
“We are not in a position yet to say where the short list is, because, you know, these things are in New York.”
