Any advice on subletting my NYC Corner storefront? I have a 600 sq/ft store and I just built a wall up and looking to sublet 200 sq/ft. I'm on a corner with pretty good traffic and 1 block away from the train. It's in Manhattan LES.
Right now my rent is $4500 on a corner storefront in NYC LES and 1 block from the F train and pretty good walk by traffic. I'm on a 5 year lease and have 2 years more with 7% increase a year. I'm looking to sublet 200 sq/ft of it to reduce my cost. Landlord said okay already, but he would need to approve of the tenant. What advice can you give me as I'm not too familiar with the business of renting stuff out.

- Where can I check on local storefront prices like mine to get a price comparison?
- I'd like to rent out to a clean business, like a gallery. As the landlord said no food business. 
- What are some other things I would need to know when making a deal like this?

Brokers have access to CoStar which is the best software in NYC for finding out the price-per-square-foot in a given neighborhood, and you can list it so that every broker in NYC can see it. The problem is that it's thousands of dollars per year, which is why usually only brokers have it. As far as Lower East Side, maybe try listing it with Sinvin, they are big players in that area.\n\nAs far as a tenant, 200 sf is gonna be rough if you aren't allowed to have food uses, as it's pretty confining and not much room for retail of any kind. If your LL allowed food use, I would have at least 10 tenants you could put in there. But you never know... In my experience, small spaces are usually way easier to rent out.\n\nGood luck!", "replies": [{"id": "d3smld0", "text": "thanks! what's the average estimate per sq foot in the les? it's 1 block from the f train and on an active block with a bunch of bars", "replies": [{"id": "d3t3ess", "text": "try loopnet.com  it is similar to costar but with less features/verifications and most importantly it is free to view premium listings and post basic listings.  \n\nDid you check if you divided it in a legal way where the city won't lose their shit when your sub-lessee goes to get a zoning cert/business license?\n\n", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "d402am1", "text": "1.
