We usually don’t post the announcements and openings of new Apple Stores, but tomorrow Apple will open its newest retail store and, I have to admit, this one looks like their most extraordinary one yet. On New York’s Fifth Avenue on Friday, May 19 at 6:00 p.m. EDT this architecturally innovative store, featuring a distinctive 32-foot glass cube will open and from then on be open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Apple Store Fifth Avenue is located at 767 Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets, neighboring Central Park, FAO Schwarz and Bergdorf Goodman.
