Drake's shop in Nolita is here for a good time, not a long time.
The rapper announced Wednesday he was opening up a pop-up shop in Nolita/Chinatown Aug. 4 through 7 to sell merchandise related to his "Summer Sixteen" tour. The pop-up shop at 208 Bowery is called "Revenge."

It should be interesting to see whether he passes out free shirts, like he did at a previous pop-up in New York in April. A sneak peek of "Summer Sixteen" merchandise shows shirts with printed motto, "no crying no lying no dying" and, obviously, shirts with Drake cupping his chin in his hand.

This is officially the era of singer/rapper pop-up shops in downtown Manhattan. Future opened a high-end designer clothing pop-up this week, and last week, Gucci Mane opened a pop-up ice cream truck.
