The tabletop industry has spoken. It said: "No more weekends. Shorter market days." This was the widely held consensus among tableware buyers and tenants of 7 West 34th Street and Forty One Madison, following the recent Spring Tabletop Show.

"It was clear the buying groups, department and chain stores chose to attend the Market during the week with the independents remaining split on the issue. There was very little traffic on Saturday and virtually none on Sunday. Following the show, we revised the dates to better serve the needs of retailers and our tenants. Beginning this fall, the New York Tabletop Show will run Wednesday to Friday and from 2009-2011, Tuesday to Friday," said Carole Dixon, sr. VP director of Forty One Madison.
