Global Ink was a truly wonderful newsagent that sold papers and magazines from around the world, and offered treats like free coffee to sweeten the deal. One of New York's last independent storefront newsstands, it was defended by loyal Morningside Heights residents when a Universal News briefly alighted on Broadway in the early 2000s. The locals simply refused to patronize the chain store altogether.
In 2007, however, Global Ink suddenly closed. The newsstand's owners opened a shoe store, Shoe Tree, in its place.
