97 Third Avenue. May 18, 1934.

97 Third Avenue has been run by Yuko Nose (pronounced no-ZAY) for the past five years. Before that, she had a clothing store, Air Market, in the same space for 15 years. Originally from Tokyo, Nose has lived in New York City for three decades, now calling Greenpoint home. As to why she switched from selling clothing to objets d’art, she said: “I got bored.”
