Ahead Of Hurricane Irene Landfall, Apple Closes Retail Stores In New York, New Jersey and Connecticut

If you’re in New York City, don’t think you can bide your time hanging around at the Apple Store before Hurricane Irene hits: Apple has closed their Fifth Avenue, West 14th Street, West Upper Side and SoHo stores.

But that’s not all: they’re also closing a number of stores in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

If anyone wants to meet me at one of the Boston Apple Stores to wait out the meteorological apocalypse, though, let me know: I’ll bring beer.
