3rd Apple Store in NYC?

Looks like there may be a third Apple Store opening in Manhattan in the not too distant future. We all know about the SoHo store and the soon-to-open glass-cube-fronted store in the GM building, and now Apple is said to have taken a lease on the entire building located at 21 W. 34th St., which is directly across from the Empire State Building.

Recenty, Apple abandoned the idea of opening a mini-store on the ground floor of another NYC landmark building, the Flatiron Building on 23rd St. and Broadway.

Apple likes high foot-traffic areas for their stores, and this is definitely one of them. This area and Herald Square is tourist-central since the Empire State Building is once again the tallest building in NYC.
